Package: groff-base Version: 1.18.1.1-21 Hi Colin!
grotty appears to enter an infinite loop when processing libwine-dev's (possibly libwine-unstable-dev's too) GetMIMETypeSubKeyA(3w) manpage. Reproducing it is as simple as running: man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l GetMIMETypeSubKeyA.3w.gz (yep, lintian's check is affected, that's how I noticed it -- not sure if you read the thread on lint-maint.) The version on the report is lenny's, but I'm able to reproduce it in sid too (with version 1.20.1-9.) I guess that running grotty under the effects of a fuzzer would reveal more bugs. Since ftp-master's lintian only runs some checks (none manpage-related) and mentors.d.n only runs lintian on source packages I don't think it's worth treating it as a security issue. It might be worth fixing it in an SPU, though. I'm attaching the manpage. Cheers, -- Raphael Geissert - Debian Developer www.debian.org - get.debian.net
