Subject: Lua 5.1.4
Has anyone looked at the Lua fixes[1] in 5.1.4? I'm not familiar with the
codebase, but it seems that several may have security implications:
2: stack overflow (this is the Lua stack? so... heap overflow?)
3: integer overflow
4: integer overflow
6: stack overflow (this is the Lua stack? so... heap overflow?)
8: memory writing?
9: memory reading
10: CPU DoS
I haven't had a chance to examine it closely yet. Has anyone looked at
these changes?
