I think it just reflects that the packages which were uploaded differ
from the corresponding tags in the repository.  It was unexpected and
confused the path forward for me.

Given the way that debian-security-support works, that sounds like a
good approach.  I used the branches because there were there and
appeared to have been in recent use.

Since it sounds like you have another updated past mine, would you be
willing to take over from here?  It seems like my use of the branches
would create opportunity for future complications which could be avoided
by the single commit/tag-based approach you propose.  The uncertainty
that I have surrounding this process makes me think it should be
documented.  I'll make an attempt at documenting the process on the wiki
and then perhaps you can review it for accuracy.

I have attached my draft DLA text so that you can add the chromium bit
to it.  Also, feel free to edit my draft text for clarity, consistency,
etc.

Subject: [SECURITY] [DLA -1] debian-security-support libqb and mysql-5.5 
end of life

Package: debian-security-support
Version: 2019.11.15~deb8u1


debian-security-support, the Debian security support coverage checker,
has been updated in jessie.

This marks the end of life of the libqb package in jessie.  A recently
reported vulnerability against libqb which allows users to overwrite
arbitrary files via a symlink attack cannot be adequately addressed in
libqb in jessie.  Upstream no longer supports this version and no
packages in jessie depend upon libqb.

We recommend that if your systems or applications depend upon the libqb
package provided from the Debian archive that you upgrade your systems
to a more recent Debian release or find an alternate and up to date
source of libqb packages.

Additionally, MySQL 5.5 is no longer supported.  Upstream has ended its
support and we are unable to backport fixes from newer versions due to
the lack of patch details. Options are to switch to MariaDB 10.0 in
jessie or to a newer version of MySQL in more recent Debian releases.

Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

cool!

for jessie, there's no need to go via SRM, *we* are maintaining jessie
now.

for stretch (and buster) I'm pondering whether we should do another
upload to unstable first, as I did a commit yesterday marking chromium
as unsupported in stretch. so I've come to conclude that I'll upload
this right away (it will just delay buster migration by a day) as this
change is pretty good to have for stretch.

so debsnap is buggy?

and anyway, do we need branches at all? can't you just do commit based
on master with a d/changelog entry and then save this as a tag, but not
as a branch?

if want, you can surely do this. Even without forking, just create a

or that. I'm happy to review basically anything what I can review easily.

Hi Holger,

I am hesitant to file the bugs with the SRMs and to do the jessie
upload.  I merged the 2019.11.15 tag into the jessie and stretch
branches.  I also created a new buster branch from that tag.

The buster update goes from 2019.06.13..2019.11.15_deb10u1, the stretch
update from debian/2019.02.01_deb9u1..2019.11.15_deb9u1 and the jessie
update from debian/2019.02.01_deb8u1..2019.11.15_deb8u1.  The git diffs
look sane.  However, after building each of the packages and checking
the debdiffs (against source packages downloaded with debsnap), the
stretch and jessie packages I built seem to be inducing many more
changes than those revealed by git diff.

Before I go ahead with pushing changes to salsa, uploading to jessie,
releasing a DLA, and filing bugs requesting approval to upload to buster
and stretch, I'd like to make sure that I have gone about all of this in
the right way.

What is the best way to facilitate this?  Should I fork
debian-security-support and push my proposed changes there for you to
review?  Should I post source packages and debdiffs for review?  Let me
know how I should proceed.

Regards,

-Roberto

Looks fine to me. I have also noticed that we didn't get a
debian-security-support update for the mysql-5.5 EOL, so if you can add a
paragraph about it in the announcement (the changes to the
debian-security-support were already there) that'd be great. Something such as:

In addition to that, MySQL 5.5 is no longer supported as upstream ended its
support and we are unable to backport fixes from newer versions due to the lack
of patch details. Options are to switch to MariaDB 10.0 in jessie or to a newer
version in more recent Debian releases.

Hi

I think the text looks good. Not exactly as previous updates but since it
is the only change I think it is better to change the default template in

Package: debian-security-support
Version: 2019.11.15~deb8u1


debian-security-support, the Debian security support coverage checker,
has been updated in jessie.

This marks the end of life of the libqb package in jessie.  A recently
reported vulnerability against libqb which allows users to overwrite
arbitrary files via a symlink attack cannot be adequately addressed in
libqb in jessie.  Upstream no longer supports this version and no
packages in jessie depend upon libqb, thus making it a leaf package.

We recommend that if your systems or applications depend upon the libqb
package provided from the Debian archive that you upgrade your systems
to a more recent Debian release or find an alternate and up to date
source of libqb packages.

Looking at the previous updates, a DLA seems appropriate.  I am in the
process of drafting the text.

If I close the MR and commit directly, is it then a simple matter of
build and upload to unstable?  That is, no other special steps are
required?

As any DD can commit to debian-security-support.git and also can upload
that package, just make sure to call it a team upload in d/changelog to
appease lintian and possibly other tools.

And then it would be ideal to upload the package to unstable and then
file a SRM bug to update the package in stretch, in addition to
uploading to jessie. (Probably this should also result in a DLA, not
100% sure though. Thoughts & comments definitly welcome.)

I believe it's fine if the version contraints (package version in
unstable higher than testing higher than stable higher than oldstable)
are temporarily not met, but I also believe it's important that they are
in the long run & most of the time.

If doing all this work is too much or tedious to you, please shout and I
will be happy to finish this. Please just do at least the initial
change in git to security-support-ended.deb8.

Thanks!

We usually mark affected CVE as  in data/CVE/list and just
add the package to security-support-ended.deb8 in
debian-security-support. We then upload new versions of the package
periodically and announce it via DLA. I believe now is a good time to do it.

Markus

Is it as simple as updating the debian-security-support package?  Do we
customarily send out a DLA when a package is dropped from support?

That sounds reasonable to me.
