According to common IT media and the people who found this CVE, the CVSS score is 9.8, i.e., very high. It would be important to get this fixed.

@QA: Since there is no news from the assignee, would it be possible to get someone else to jump in?

The new hotness already tried a scratch build, see bug #2182090.

That is the scratch build for 10.01.2, and the security bug claimed the bug to be present through that version. Apparantly that is wrong.

I have commit rights for gs@fed but do not consider myself a maintainer, so I refrain from from version updates. But upstream has a backport for 10.01.1 so I'll check whether it's just a backport of the fix, or also of the fix to the fix ... This would be good for rawhide+f38.

F37 is at gs 9.56, though. 9.55->9.56 was not exactly smooth, and bumping F37 to 10.01.1 would quite something I'm afraid.

Comment 4 Michael J Gruber 2023-07-14 08:36:14 UTC
OK, checked. We have 10.01.0 only in Fedora ... But 10.01.2 is purely a bugfix release, containing a fix for this CVE (and a fix for the fix) and some other bugfixes. So I'll go with this one. PR upcoming.
