Hi, This is summary on the work I did for Debian LTS and ELTS in February 2025. Thanks to Freexian and sponsors for making this possible [0].
This is the first month I've been active on LTS/ELTS. Many thanks to Santiago for all the guidance and feedback he gave me during the onboarding process. Debian LTS ========== [bind9] I published DLA-4050-1 fixing CVE-2024-11187 in Bullseye. In the process I also added an autopkgtest to verify that the added patch works as expected. I submitted the same autopkgtest for inclusion in the maintainer's packaging branch on salsa [1]. Debian ELTS =========== [bind9] I published ELA-1325-1 fixing CVE-2024-11187 in Buster and Stretch, also backporting the same autopkgtest I added to the Bullseye upload (see the Debian LTS section). [bind9/jessie] Preliminary work on fixing CVE-2024-11187 in Jessie. The patch I have does not easily backport. This is work planned for March. Tooling ======= I fixed a couple of bugs in src:autopkgtest that prevented some autopkgtest-build-* tools from working properly with older Debian releases [2, 3].
