Hi greg,
Many appologies, I did not see your patch attached/forgot it existed when I fixed this yesterday. I created this patch based on your
feedback from my original email on September 2nd. I have tested this patch with an emulated device and it fixes the vulnerability.
Again, applogies for the long delay and patch confusion.

Best regards,

James

As far as I can tell, your patches are identical.

Hah, so they are. James's original patch was not this one, sorry for
not looking at it closer.

James, any reason why you are passing off my patch as yours here? Did
you test mine and see that this did solve the problem? You did change
your changelog text a bit, to reflect the change between mine and yours,
so I'm guessing that you did?

thanks,
