Comment 1 Matthias Gerstner 2024-02-14 09:50:40 UTC 
This only affects SLE-15-SP4 (and likely older codestreams).

The issue is not in the scripts provided by us but in the handling of these
scripts in less itself. The issue was fixed upstream without tagging it as
security:

I meant to refer to the _codestream_ and SLE-15-SP4 is the newest codestream
for `less`. Sorry if this caused any confusion.
