[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] libfcgi:add security patch for CVE-2012-6687

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello Niranjan,

Could you fix your mail configuration so that your From is:

	Niranjan Reddy <niranjan.reddy@rockwellcollins.com>

Indeed, the From: field gets used as the Git author.

I don't understand, I had a look at this Debian tarball, and couldn't
spot the fix. Also below, you're signing off the patch, which seems to
indicate your are the author of it.

Could you clarify ?

Please use Niranjan Reddy and not niranjan.reddy.

Thanks,
