I think that was early 2020 if memory serves. There was another serious security bug discovered a few months before too.


2022.


Do you have a source for that? I run it on a few machines and monitor that stuff, I think I would remember. I remember patching that one before the portable tree release with the fix was in a distro. I remember it very well because I was rushed, heading out to a meal but realizing a machine was vulnerable.

Here's what I find googling:

I think later they had another crashing bug that wasn't exploitable. This one from 2020 was poor validation of input leading to a shell command. A very 90s bug indeed.


Oh! You're totally right. I had two different links, and, of course, the actual Qualys advisory has the date you're giving it. Thanks for taking the time to correct me on this.
