Package: libgconf-2-4
Version: 3.2.5-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream fixed-upstream patch
Control: forwarded -1 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667167
Control: affects evolution

Dear Debian folks,


the upstream GConf master branch contains a fix for a use after free in
gconf-dbus [1]. This could crash Evolution/Evolution Data Server.

I am going to apply that upstream patch to the Debian package.


Thanks,

Paul
