Package: pmacct
Version: 1.7.2-3

The version of nfacctd shipped in Buster has a bug where it can
corrupt its heap under certain external inputs of BGP extended
communities.

This was reported upstream[0] and fixed with a patch[1] that trivially
applies against the version in Buster.  We at Wikimedia are
backporting it to our installs, but this should probably be backported
as a stable patch in Debian at large.
