Sorry, I''ve been busy over the week.
I just double-checked the diffs; seems like I confused two changelog entries.
elog 2.5.7+r1558-3 is fully fixed; I''ll fix this in SVN right now.

Cheers,

Moritz,

In revision 1178[1] of CAN/list (Date: Mon, 30 May 2005 06:27:54 +0000)
of the sarge-checks svn repository you made this log entry:

Two distinct issues are fixed for elog

 CAN-2005-XXXX [Buffer overflow in elog header_buffer]
-       - elog 2.5.7+r1558-3
+       - elog 2.5.9+r1674-1

There already existed an entry for elog (it still exists):

CAN-2005-XXXX [Buffer overflow in elog]
        - elog 2.5.7+r1558-3

The last email[2] from the elog maintainer to the testing-security list
indicates that the upload r1558-3 solves these problems. However,
there could be a reason why you put revision 1674-1 into the file?

I asked a few days ago[3] about why there are two entries in the list
for elog, and which is correct as the release team is trying to figure
out if the outstanding testing-security entry for elog is accurate.

Can you clarify which is correct, and perhaps consolidate the two
entries?

Thanks,
micah
