Hi Brian,

Thanks for your help.  I am working to backport dc194fc977ab to address
CVE-2020-13933 and after that I will move on to the fixes for
CVE-2020-17510 and CVE-2020-17523.

As far as the maintainability of a 1.3.x package, upgrading to a newer
version is not an option for two reasons.  First, I am working on
addressing these vulnerabilities in Debian Stretch, which is in the LTS
stage of its lifecycle, making an update to a new upstream release very
unlikely.  Second, the shiro package in Debian was last updated about 2
years ago and even in Debian unstable 1.3.x is the highest available
version.  Any update to a new upstream version would need to start in
the unstable distribution.

As an additional complication, the activemq package in Debian depends on
the shiro package, so a shiro update would need to be coordinated in a
that ensures it doesn't break activemq.

That said, I will bring the issue up to see if I can get an update
started so that at the least the next Debian stable release has
something more recent.

Regards,

-Roberto
