+* CVE-2013-2207 Incorrectly granting access to another user's pseudo-terminal
+ has been fixed by disabling the use of pt_chown (Bugzilla #15755).
+ Distributions can re-enable building and using pt_chown via the new configure
+ option `--enable-pt_chown'. Enabling the use of pt_chown carries with it
+ considerable security risks and should only be used if the distribution
+ understands and accepts the risks.
* CVE-2013-0242 Buffer overrun in regexp matcher has been fixed (Bugzilla
#15078).
