Thank you for reporting this to us.
Tails is generally based on Debian stable (currently: oldstable), so
we benefit from the staging of packages in Debian testing/sid, that
allows to catch most such critical bugs.
In this specific case, Tails ships macchanger 1.5.0-9 from Wheezy,
so it is not affected.
Cheers,
