   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:


   Some potential mcrypt buffer overflows in the commandline
   tool were fixed, which could lead to early aborts of
   mcrypt. Due to FORTIFY_SOURCE catching such cases, it would
   have only aborted mcrypt with a buffer overflow backtrace.
