Bug#596069: libcrypt-openssl-x509-perl: broken new_from_string()

[intrigeri at boum.org]

Package: libcrypt-openssl-x509-perl
Version: 1.3-1
Severity: important

Hi,

the new_from_string() function is broken in 1.2 and 1.3. This
constructor is one of the main entry points to this module, hence the
important severity.

The only change in the 1.3 -> 1.4 diff is a simple fix for this bug.
I guess this deserves a freeze exception, doesn't it?

Bye,
