CVE is effectively disputed - yes there is stack exhaustion but no bug and it is building the parser, not running it, effectively similar to a compiler ICE. Upstream no plans to address and there is no security issue. https://github.com/westes/flex/issues/414 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <redacted> --- meta/recipes-devtools/flex/flex_2.6.4.bb | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
