What's the question here? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2277886

Comment 6 Dave Botsch 2024-05-01 15:11:23 UTC

Ok. That bug didn't come up usinng the link in the EPEL rpm -qi (only the F38 and F39 ones did).

Comment 7 Iñaki Ucar 2024-05-01 16:08:58 UTC

Because we updated to v4.4.0 before that CVE was even disclosed. F38 and F39 will stay at v4.3.x, so we backported the fix.
