Hello!
In addition to the news entry that ‘guix pull’ will display, we may want
to publicize the issue. In particular, should we:
1. Apply for a new CVE?
2. Post an article on the blog to explain in detail what happened?
That should probably include an analysis like that at
<https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/10/09/4>, given
that Guix does things not entirely like Nix here.
3. Email that analysis to oss-security?
4. Push a new release?
I’m tempted to think that we should do 1 to 3, as quickly as we can.
Help welcome, in particular on #2!
As for #4, I think we should push a new release soon anyway, but maybe
not just specifically for this issue since it can be addressed simply by
upgrading.
Thoughts?
