geordi (20080916T2006-2ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Change build-dep and depends from libboost-dev to libboost1.35-dev as
      part of the boost -> boost1.35 transition

geordi (0:20080916T2006-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Ignore (rather than allow) fcntl system call to prevent a DoS. Upstream
    writes:

      By using fcntl with F_SETOWN to make the geordi process the owner of its
      stdout and then using fcntl again to set O_ASYNC on stdout, the C++
      program could have the geordi process receive SIGIO, causing it to shut
      down.

      We only allowed fcntl because g++ appeared to need it. Upon closer
      inspection, it turns out g++ only uses it to check some flags on the
      precompiled header fd, and the system call can just be ignored
      altogether.

    Patch backported from upstream darcs repository.
