Statement
This issue is not planned to be fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5,
as its impact is mitigated by standard glibc protection mechanisms to
cause only application abort.
Red Hat Security Response Team does not consider a user-assisted crash
(abort) of a client application, such as OpenOffice.org Impress tool,
to be a security issue.
