Hi everyone,

I've just requested a push that fixes #454583: byacc vulnerable to
public buffer overflow.  The bug has been around for past thirty
years, so my guess would be it's rather benign, but what do I know.
Owners of packages dependent on byacc might want to rebuild.

For F-9, repoquery gives me the following list:
