Bugs
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| mdeslaur | upstream fix adds experimental memory allocator. Not suitable for backporting to stable releases. No viable fix as of 2019-01-17, but the memory allocation is handled gracefully, so the security impact is minimal. We will not be fixing this issue. Marking as ignored. |
