I have taken that topic already to Zarafa, more than void was not yet
returned, however there is an internal developer meeting this week, I
think.

Even if they decide to rewrite the code, it's not done immediately and
non-paid code rewrites maybe also take some time, it's similar like at
RHEL vs. subscription, if I'm allowed to compare.

Would -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 be acceptable until the code is rewritten?


Greetings,
