B) vte issue: =============

there is similar issue in vte too (Gnome bug private for now):
 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676090

Cc-ed Behdad Esfahbod on this post to clarify, what are the 
upstream plans regarding this report in vte and if the CVE id
has been already assigned for it.

Will wait for confirmation.


Hi,

I think http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/05/23/6 is
a reasonable confirmation. Additionally, upstream fixed this in
0.32.2: 
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/vte/0.32/vte-0.32.2.news

In case you agree that all requirements are fulfilled, could you
please assign a CVE to the B) part?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Please use CVE-2012-2738 for this issue.
