Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 10:59:45 +0200

 This security vulnerability: http://www.zataz.net/adviso/bacula-09192005.txt
 has been fixed in the latest 1.37.x release of bacula.  Since this is their
 -beta branch, and we decided to stay on the stable (1.36.x) branch (amongst
 other changes, 1.37.x seems to use an incompatible database format), I have
 taken the security-relevant part of the diffs on the trunk and applied them
 to 1.36.3.  The resulting patch is to be included as patches/patch-ah:

 latest patches/patch-ag)
 
 For unambigious versioning (with and without the vulnerability), I propose
 we immediatly bump the PKGREVISION to 1 and do:
