Hi,
Just a quick heads-up: We at Red Hat originally fixed this as part of
the patch for CVE-2008-3520. This was a rather big patch and
closed a lot of potential integer overflows (originally from
OpenBSD?). I imagine a lot of distros used the same patch.
The original description for CVE-2008-3520 is quite general, so I'm
not sure if that's enough to say that CVE-2015-8751 is a dupe or not.
