FYI copyfail and dirtyfrag are the same vulnerability activated by two different code paths.
It's as if Windows had a vulnerability triggered by writing a certain string to a file. Copyfail is to write the string to a file. Dirtyfrag is to get another program to write the string to a file. When you fix the vulnerability - make sure nothing strange happens when the string is written - both go away at the same time.
