Comment 2 Mike Rambo 2019-05-04 15:57:27 CEST 
Neither cauldron or Mageia 6 are vulnerable to this bug. The initial bug report and response are here.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ed/2017-01/msg00001.html

The description of the solution above matches the proposed patch from SUSE here.

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019807

The fixed release is announced here and is 1.14.1.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ed/2017-01/msg00002.html

As cauldron is 1.15 and Mageia 6 is 1.14.2 (and moreover a check of regex.c in both tarballs show the line removed in the proposed patch is already gone) this bug is invalid.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
