Patch when possible
- affected>= 12.1.0.0 and <= 12.1.1.2
- affected>= 10.0.8.0 and <= 10.0.8.12
As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.
