Hello Alex,

thanks for the suggestion. I've imported the ncurses recipe from oe-core/master, but the problem remained. It turns out that the CVE patch is what is causing the problems here. I read through the Gentoo bugreports again, and noticed that one user reported p20230918 to be working. Checking the ncurses commit log it seems like p20230918 includes a fix for the CVE, so additional patching is unnecessary.

So my current approach is to use p20230918 (https://github.com/ThomasDickey/ncurses-snapshots/releases/tag/v6_4_20230918), but drop the CVE patch that the recipe is master applies. This seems to work, i.e. joe and tmux are both functional again.

Sadly I have no idea which changes one would need to backport to the 6.3 version to fix the issue... :(

P.S.: So oe-core/master does *not* work. master has ncurses 6.4 (no patchlevel), plus the patch for CVE-2023-29491.
