Comment 1 Ian McInerney 2021-02-02 17:32:07 UTC 
The referenced disclosure thread seems to suggest that only the Windows version of Audacity is susceptible to this - so is this really an actionable CVE for the Linux packages? (yes, I realize I need to update the package anyway to get to the recent version - but upstream politics has annoyed me recently so I haven't had the bandwidth to do that yet). Basically my question is this: what is the attack surface on the Linux package for this?
