Hello,

Pierre Neidhardt <ambrevar <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> * gnu/packages/patches/upx-protect-against-bad-crafted-input.patch: New file.
> * gnu/packages/compression.scm (upx)[source]: Use it.

I renamed the patch so that it includes the CVE id, added it to
gnu/local.mk, and committed.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
