Petr Pisar discovered a format string bug in wordnet while doing review of wordnet packages in Fedora / RHEL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585206 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317265 We're not treating this as security issue (no good attack vector, fortify source mitigation) and fixing it as a regular bug. Though as the issue can be triggered in a similar way as CVE-2008-2149, and some vendors fixed that one as security, bringing this to attention if anyone wants to use a different approach. -- Tomas Hoger / Red Hat Security Response Team
