That section of the documentation has to do with the *library* being designed for embedded use, not the *upstream source* designing around embedding a library. It's referring to libraries such as some elements of the GNU toolchain, which are specifically intended to be embedded.
This is a case where Debian (and, by inheritance, Ubuntu) has made a deliberate choice to override the wishes of upstream. The fact that we have multiple Ubuntu releases with unsafe embedded libraries is just proof that embedding libraries is a bad idea. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898845 Title: New upstream release: FreeImage 3.15.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeimage/+bug/898845/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
