Package: socat Version: 1.7.2.4-1 Severity: important Tags: security, fixed-upstream, upstream
Please see for details: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/01/24/6 """ Socats signal handler implementations are not asnyc-signal-safe. When a signal is triggered while the process is within a non async-signal-safe function the signal handler will call a non sync-signal-safe function too. POSIX specifies the behaviour in this situation as undefined. Dependend on involved functions, libraries, and operating system, the process can continue, freeze, or crash. Mostly this issue occurs when socat is in listening mode with fork option and a couple of child processes terminate at the same time.
