If this were a library used in a game or a bug in a screensaver I could see letting a formatting error in a string crash abort any program using the library sit for a year. I'm staggered really to experience this for a package as widely touted as gnutls, contending to be a replacement for openssl, and especially in a business supporting group like ubuntu that aims for site installs.
I think this 11-month 'maintainers have higher priorities' event is a strong sign gnutls just is so not ready for mission critical deployment that whatever priority it may have on launchpad--- in the maintainers minds this is a 'might fix, won't deploy'. I've compiled it against openssl, and it's solid. Though I've stuck with ubuntu for many years now I have to agree with the sentiment upstream: this is a confidence buster. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103353 Title: Invalid GnuTLS cipher suite strings causes libldap to crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap/+bug/1103353/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
