Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mksh
Changes since 39.3-4 (version currently in maverick/universe):
mksh (39.3.20100719-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New CVS snapshot; summary of changes relevant to Debian:
- [tg] Correct shf buffer I/O routines to avoid a memory
corruption bug discovered by Waldemar Brodkorb and other
bad effects (bug inherited from pdksh, anno 1999)
* High urgency due to memory corruption and “set -x” fix

mksh (39.3.20100717-1) unstable; urgency=low
* The “「Don't drink and dupload ;-)」? I use dput anyway!” release
* debian/rules: revert change disabling -combined on dietlibc,
since it appears to be of no practical relevance
* debian/rules: disable dietlibc on sparc due to weird problems
* debian/rules: adapt build log scanner contraband to newer gcc
* Switch from patch system to applying patches directly to the
extracted source in “1.0” style (in the future, “3.0 (quilt)”
can ease this) by using repackaged orig.tar.gz
* Install upstream’s dot.mkshrc as /etc/mkshrc and source this
from a new, minimal, /etc/skel/.mkshrc (debian/.mkshrc); idea
by Michal Hlavinka (RHEL package maintainer)
* Use repackaged upstream snapshot; changelog:
- [tg] Remove arc4random(3) functionality; seed an LCG depending
on the OS doing Address Space Layout Randomisation; speed up
- [tg] Fix spelling in dot.mkshrc
- [tg] Implement “live” window resize for the Emacs editing mode
- [tg] More fixes for bugs found by Valgrind and LLVM+Clang scan-build
- [tg] For script compatibility support “set ±o arc4random” during a
transition period until R40 is out (but issue a warning to stderr)
- [oksh] Add (, ), (( to reserved words in the manual page and fix
some formatting errors with GNU groff’s mdoc
- [tg] Make printf.c.1.15 use mksh’s shf_* routines instead of stdio
- [tg] Fix -Wc++-compat except implicit casts from/to "void *"
* Update printf.c file added; the new version actually uses mksh’s
shf functions instead of libc stdio, saves about 11K in mksh-static
* Adapt debian/* to new versions
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.0.0 (no changes required)
* Remove experimental, commented-out, klibc support for readability
* Run debconf-updatepo; put something into Language: header lines
* Lintian P: mksh: maintainer-script-without-set-e config
