Hi stable release managers,
db5.3 in stretch is affected by the CVE-2017-10140 ("Berkeley DB reads
DB_CONFIG from cwd)", #872436. The NMU to unstable back on end of
august has not raised any regression reports we would be aware of. We
though think it's still safer to have it via point release and have it
for a short time exposed as well via proposed-updates (once, and if
accepted).
The changelog reads as:
>db5.3 (5.3.28-12+deb9u1) stretch; urgency=medium
>
> * Non-maintainer upload.
> * CVE-2017-10140: Reads DB_CONFIG from the current working directory.
> Do not access DB_CONFIG when db_home is not set. (Closes: #872436)
>

Attached ist the full proposed debdiff.
Regards,
Salvatore
