I'd like to fix a vulnerability in the gdomap daemon (no DSA). It is
fixed in testing/unstable and already approved/uploaded for buster
(release.d.o #940943). The patch is the same.
Debdiff attached.

+Description: Fix UDP amplification vulnerability
+ A couple of is_local_net() tests were wrong: they used "&&" with
+ masks, but that is the logical shortcut operator. The correct
+ bitwise operator is "&". The result was that is_local_net() was
+ always returning true.
+ .
+ Only allow local processes to send GDO_SERVERS requests. This
+ request is only useful locally. Do not allow remote requests for the
+ server list. Our response can be large, so it would make a great UDP
+ amplification attack.
+ .
+ Patch by Alan Jenkins ; issue
+ reported to the Debian security team.
