Subject: Patch for multiple security issues
Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2019 16:41:56 +0100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Attached patch fixes most open security issues in testing/sid
(as applied by Leonidas S. Barbosa in Ubuntu), but needs
additional work to deal with the versioned symbols fallout
caused by GCC changes which happened after the last exiv upload
to sid.
