Package: libpython2.7-stdlib
Version: 2.7.13-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
There is a bug in the XML_SetHashSalt function, which causes Segfaults when
using for example FreeCAD, as seen here:
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=23380
This bug occours with libexpat1 >= 2.2.1.
A possible workaround is, to downgrade to 2.2.0.
There is already a merged patch for this in python:
https://bugs.python.org/issue29682
Judging from the date of the python version in
/usr/share/doc/libpython2.7-minimal/changelog.Debian.gz,
this patch should be already included in Debian (the changelog says: "Update to
20170719 from the 2.7 branch.", and the patch was merged on 20170309).
But it isn't. The version of Modules/pyexpat.c is from 2014.
Is there a specific reason, that this patch was not included?
thanks in advance!
regards
sebastian
