Please skip this patch - the CDDL is a weird license and may pose 
problems for us to distribute its sstate-cache.

The problem reported in the CVE is in a particular utility within 
cdrtools that we don't need, so I'm going to resolve the security 
advisory by not packaging that file, and stick with the GPL version we 
were previously using.

Sorry for the confusion.

Scott
