Hi, all, I am pleased to announce the availability of Remind 06.00.01 at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/
This release adds one new feature (support for readline if you have
the readline library and headers installed) and one important bugfix.
The bug is potentially security-sensitive, so I recommend that
everyone upgrade.
If you cannot upgrade Remind, then I recommend recompiling your
existing version after editing the file remind-xxx/src/var.c and
removing the line that reads:
DBufValue(&buf)[VAR_NAME_LEN] = 0;
Alternatively, you can try applying the patch attached to this email,
which keeps the assignment but puts a guard around it to ensure
there's no buffer overflow.
