[Bug 997096] Re: nscd segmentation fault

[Moritz Hassert]

Dmitrijs:
I don't see how this bug is related to any of the points mentioned in that security notice.
On a closer look at the openSuse bug report comment #2 just mentions those security fixes without directly claiming that they fix the bug itself. In Comment #3 the bug was declared fixed, perhaps prematurely.

So I guess the bug in nscd is still there and the openSuse bug report
was false hope?
