Dear release team,
Please unblock package libmicrohttpd
The new version in unstable fixes CVE-2023-27371 a denial of service
vulnerability, which got fixed targted by picking the upstream commit
for it. No other changes were applied.
As the package is a key package is needs now a manual approval for
unblock. It was already long enough in unstable, and passes the
autopkgtest runs.
unblock libmicrohttpd/0.9.75-6
Regards,
Salvatore

+Description: fix parser bug that could be used to crash servers using the
MHD_PostProcessor
+ Fix potential DoS vector in MHD_PostProcessor discovered
+ by Gynvael Coldwind and Dejan Alvadzijevic [CVE-2023-27371].
+ .
+ While the researchers have not been able to exploit this attack vector
+ when libmicrohttpd is compiled with the standard GNU C library, it is
+ recommended that you update MHD as soon as possible if PostProcessor
+ functionality is used in your applications.
