Changelog

ncurses (6.3+20220423-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream patchlevel.
    - Add a limit-check to guard against corrupt terminfo data
      (report/testcase by NCNIPC of China (CVE-2022-29458),
      Closes: #1009870).
    - Minor clarification to clear.1 (Closes: #999437).
  * Refresh Debian patches.
  * Update symbols files.
  * Ensure that the README file in ncurses-examples has correct
    permissions (Closes: #1003929).
  * Add a lintian override to ncurses-examples for a false positive
    bash-term-in-posix-shell in tput-initc.
  * Update debian/ncurses-term.links to avoid a broken symlink
    /usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-color.
  * Remove libmd-dev build dependency on kfreebsd, no longer needed.
