There looks to be an array index overflow problem in the upstream tor2 patch. Have brought forward upstream with this issue in: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=13954#96700

I'm bit confused here. Affected files are indeed part of the zaptel SRPM, but according to the build logs, they are not built or shipped in any of the (binary) RPMS. The code does not seem to be part of the upstream kernel, and Fedora does no longer permit shipping kernel modules packages. Can anyone clarify this? This looks like notabug for Fedora.
Yes, Fedora only ships the userspace libraries. The zaptel/dadhi modules are not in the upstream kernel and Fedora prohibits kernel modules shipped outside of the kernel RPM. I'd agree this is notabug.
Jeffrey, thanks for quick confirmation! Closing.
