[pkg-cinnamon] Cinnamon screensaver security issue

Thu May 15 10:05:09 UTC 2014

Hi Team,

Any plan, ETA of uploading Cinnamon to Sid? There's a local security
bug in its screensaver, got the CVE-2014-1949 id[1][2]. Upstream
bugreport[3] reveals that the fix is under progress. As Clement
Lefebvre noted some days ago, "We fixed something that could relate to
this today. Please re-test with git-latest, it could potentially fix
this problem.".

It would be nice to upload Cinnamon to Sid for further testing by the
users. While ironing out any remainder problems, upload the security
fix as soon as available.

Regards,
Laszlo/GCS
