Notes
sbeattie
gcc-3.3 only provides libstdc++5
mdeslaur
Fixing this in stable release would likely require rebuilding the whole archive using the fixed compiler. Deferring CVE for now until further information is available.
sbeattie
fixed upstream in 10.3.0 and 9.4.0
rodrigo-zaiden
backport to older versions of llvm-toolchain is risky and is likely to introduce regressions.
