Summary

Due to special toolchain hardening in Debian, CVE-2018-19492 is not
security relevant, but it is a bug and the patch was applied for the sake
of completeness. Probably some downstream project does not have the same
toolchain settings.


For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
5.0.0~rc+dfsg2-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnuplot5 packages.
