Re: Wheezy update of calibre?

[Antoine Beaupré]

Just for the record: before packaging this update, we will need to
investigate the issue much further.

In particular, it seems likely that there are more undocumented but
public security issues in Calibre. See for example bug #853004:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=853004

But there may be more.

Wheezy update of svgsalamander?

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hello dear maintainer(s),

the Debian LTS team would like to fix the security issues which are
currently open in the Wheezy version of svgsalamander:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/svgsalamander

Would you like to take care of this yourself?

If yes, please follow the workflow we have defined here:
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development

If that workflow is a burden to you, feel free to just prepare an
updated source package and send it to debian-lts@lists.debian.org
(via a debdiff, or with an URL pointing to the source package,
or even with a pointer to your packaging repository), and the members
of the LTS team will take care of the rest. Indicate clearly whether you
have tested the updated package or not.

If you don't want to take care of this update, it's not a problem, we
will do our best with your package. Just let us know whether you would
like to review and/or test the updated package before it gets released.

You can also opt-out from receiving future similar emails in your
answer and then the LTS Team will take care of svgsalamander updates
for the LTS releases.

Thank you very much.

Ola Lundqvist,
  on behalf of the Debian LTS team.

any point in time. You can verify whether someone is registered

Re: Anyone having more information about the tcpdump security CVEs?

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi

Thank you for the information.

How to upload and issue a DLA is available here:
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development

I can issue the DLA if you do the upload.

Are you sure the new tcpdump is backwards compatible?

Best regards

// Ola

Looks good here on a recursive server and on one with DNSSEC enabled.

It definitively needs an update, however you should be aware that for
jessie the DSA will just update the package to the new upstream as we
don't have broken-out patches for these vulnerabilities. I'm working on
this right now.

I can prepare packages for wheezy as well if you need, but I'm not yet
familiar with how to get them uploaded to wheezy-lts.
