[Bug 241652] Re: Some security problems (with fixes)

[Reuben Thomas]

I'm sorry, I don't know what is exploitable by third parties. The
obvious questions to ask include: what applications including Lua code
take input which could trigger one of the bugs, of which a significant
sub-question is: what applications take Lua code as input?

Clearly in principle these bugs could be exploited; whether they can be
exploited in any application shipped in Ubuntu is much more difficult to
answer.

Again, since Lua 5.1.4 is simply a bug-fix release for 5.1.3, which
fixes the bugs mentioned on the bugs.html page, and only those bugs, the
simplest and safest course of action seems to be to update to it.
