Is a fix for CVE-2021-27135 in the works? Red Hat released a patch on February 22 but it doesn't seem to have filtered down to CentOS 7 yet. Or maybe I just missed it.
- Thanks!
CVE-2021-27135 (xterm) fix?
Re: CVE-2021-27135 (xterm) fix?
It seems to be missing. A bug report on bugs.centos.org wouldn't go amiss.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

They "forget" a lot of security related rebuilds for CentOS 7 these days: xorg-x11-server, ImageMagick, and libexif are recent examples. Even when there were bug reports on bugs.centos.org, it took more than another month before somebody cared. In summary, these rebuilds were delayed by 2-3 months.

This one is now built and pushed and should be on the mirrors.
If there are problems like this and bugs have been raised and ignored then several of the mods here can ping the devs and make them aware. So too can the various ops on the freenode 'centos* IRC channels. Raise a bug first, assign it to hughesjr and if no response within a day or two, ping others.
