Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2016-10195 medium priority: Ubuntu including 3 source packages (firefox, libevent, thunderbird), 17 status rows across 6 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): released 15, ignored 1, needs-triage 1.
The name_parse function in evdns.c in libevent before 2.1.6-beta allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving the label_len variable, which triggers an out-of-bounds stack read.
