Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: trixie X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:libass User: [email protected] Usertags: pu
[ Reason ] The update contains an upstream provided fix for a out-of-bounds read and write issue with malicious ASS file. The issue is tracked as GHSA-pjjp-65r7-ppgm. https://github.com/libass/libass/security/advisories/GHSA-pjjp-65r7-ppgm The same fix is included in 1:0.17.5-1 in unstable. [ Impact ] A security issue remains unfixed. [ Tests ] None, backport of an upstream provided fix. [ Risks ] Regressions would also affect unstable and we can backport necessary fixes in future stable updates. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] Path from upstream and an undocumented update for debian/gbp.conf to track the correct branches. [ Other info ] I have already uploaded the changes. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
