| mdeslaur | upstream fix introduced CVE-2021-38604, if this CVE is fixed, the other needs to be fixed also. Fixing this CVE would require introducing new symbols which will likely cause regressions for running systems. We will not be fixing this CVE in Ubuntu stable releases. Marking as ignored. |
