Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for lz4.

CVE-2019-17543[0]:
| LZ4 before 1.9.2 has a heap-based buffer overflow in LZ4_write32
| (related to LZ4_compress_destSize), affecting applications that call
| LZ4_compress_fast with a large input. (This issue can also lead to
| data corruption.) NOTE: the vendor states "only a few specific /
| uncommon usages of the API are at risk."


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

I think for unstable moving to 1.9.2 is the best option. For buster
and stretch the issue is not worth a DSA, given this only affect very
specific and uncommon usages of the API.

Regards,
Salvatore
