Package: freetds Version: 0.82-4 Severity: wishlist Upstream maintains a further stabilized and fixed post-0.82 [1]tarball, it's located in the same [2]directory than the official stable 0.82 [3]tarball.
Also available is a [4]patch with all the fixes backported from trunk (including a ChangeLog excerpt listing them). A perusal of the file shows entries describing some buffer overflow fixes and work done as a result of a Coverity analysis. Both links were obtained from the [5]page linked as "Nightly test results" from the FreeTDS home page. As of this writing, the distribution has been updated on November 11, 2008. in fact, once unpacked, the freetds-patched.tgz tarball creates a freetds-0.82.1.dev.20081111/ directory. One of the upstream authors has, for example, worked on Debian's #500451, fixed it on trunk, stated in a comment there that "You should see an updated patch for 0.82 on freetds.sourceforge.net" and done so. Would it be a good idea to base the Debian packages in a snapshot of such a tarball?.
