Comment 1 Justin M. Forbes 2025-01-31 16:01:20 UTC
Why was this created? There are not supposed to be Fedora trackers created for these, the fix version is literally included in the upstream advisory, and that advisory doesn't come out until after that fix has shipped to Fedora. This one was fixed in 6.10.5 built for Fedora on August 14th, roughly 2 weeks before the advisory even existed.
