Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
An issue was discovered in GNU recutils 1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference in the function rec_rset_get_props at rec-rset.c in librec.a, leading to a crash.
