Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-05 16:51:35 CET
This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. 
In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing 
updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it 
remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not 
be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life.  If you would still like to see 
this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, 
you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version 
of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Updated package uploaded for Mageia 1.

Advisory:
========================

Updated libvoikko packages fix security vulnerability:

This update provides version 3.2.1, which contains the following fix.

Fix handling of embedded null characters in input strings entered through
the Python interface. The bug could be used to cause denial of service
conditions and possibly other problems. Users of these interfaces are
recommended to upgrade to this release. Applications that use the native C++
library directly (this includes all well known desktop applications) are not
affected by this bug and no changes to the native library have been made in
this release.

No poc, so just testing that voikkospell works.
$ voikkospell 
valo
C: valo
asdf
W: asdf

Testing complete on Mageia 1 i586 and x86-64.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
libvoikko-3.2.1-1.mga1.src.rpm
from Mageia 1 Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.
