Fw: [SECURITY] [DSA 1186-1] New cscope packages fix arbitrary code execution

["Dave Korn" <dave dot korn at artimi dot com>]

  Ping Dave Trollope!

  I have verified that this bug also exists in your mlcscope package; can you
keep your eyes open to see if they issue a fixed version upstream?  If they
don't, you might be able to adapt the bugfix patches from the original
cscope[*].

    cheers,
      DaveK

Will Drewry of the Google Security Team discovered several buffer overflows
