We still have a severe security hole in lilypond, and a patch is
available.
See https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/5243/
Yes I see a patch is available.
It would take only minutes to prepare a pdf that starts to recursively
wipe out the home directory of any user who opens that pdf in evince,
mupdf etc. if support for textedit links is installed as recommended
in our documentation. textedit links also might be embedded in html.
I don't doubt that your comments are valid, however looking at that
tracker thread and not being a developer I cannot tell if this was
still under discussion and it looked like, to my inexperienced eyes
anyway, that there was some dispute or reasoning that still needed
confirmation.
So, if this tracker is NOT supposed to be at 'needs_work' then by all
means set it back to review. However, to save more compilation
failures, can you rebase the patch to current master as it has been a
while since your patch was uploaded.
Then I can see what needs to be done.
