Notes
This was treated as a standard bug at the time it was discovered, so other vulnerable versions never received patches. Additionally, shortly after the bug was resolved in May 2011, unbeknownst to developers, the changes were lost from all development copies and thus were not released on schedule on June 18, 2011. The bug had to be rediscovered on October 7, 2011, before a patch would make it to the public.
