Dixi quod…

>Huh. MuseScore (Studio) is a desktop application.

I’ll add a README.Debian note about that fact and that upstream
has never considered crashes on invalid input a bug and that it
hasn’t been designed as a remotely accessible service, but as a
desktop application, and that users should confine suitably.

The Capella import is a vast minority feature and incomplete
anyway, so I douby many users use it directly.

It’ll also document that these versions receive no support
(security or otherwise) from upstream any more (they’ve gone
open-core, proprietary-extension, version 4, which I don’t
intend to package), though there’s a 3.x community effort
whose initiator I know, which I’ve been intending to package
as musescore-snapshot (it’s “tip of the git branch” without
releases to avoid looking official due to the use of the
well-known name) and with whom I’ll cooperate.

This is a bit like the limited security support for binutils,
I suppose. Could/should we document that in the same places?

>or the musescore.com site or mobile äpps or something.

Given the lack of further information, I’ve contacted the ZDI
to get some; otherwise I can run it with valgrind a bit, but
without a reproducer testcase it’s not very likely to find it.

I’ll keep the bugreport informed.
