Description Asher Gordon 2020-09-28 19:52:20 UTC

I know that scrollback was removed in order to fix CVE-2020-14390, but I found scrollback to be useful, and I'm sure many other people do too. So I ask that scrollback be reimplemented. Surely it is possible to fix CVE-2020-14390 without removing scrollback entirely?

Also, I reported this bug to Debian in the following report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970984 They said that this needs to be fixed upstream, though.

Thanks.
