Comment 2 Carl George 🤠 2025-02-23 21:33:13 UTC
This was fixed upstream in version 5.9.12.  EPEL 10 is not affected because it started with version 5.9.14.  EPEL 9 and 8 are affected as they only have version 5.9.10.  I have submitted pull requests to include the upstream patch to resolve this.

I'll also point out that this is rated with a 9.8 CVSS v3 score, so prompt attention on this would be appreciated.
