Ok, so next steps here:

a) This needs fixing in the development release of ubuntu, plucky, which
will open soon. I can sponsor it for plucky, but the package is in sync
now, and the same fix is already applied to debian. As soon as debian
uploads, and plucky is open, we will get the fix. Which leads on to (b).

b) To update the ubuntu stable releases, we need to follow the SRU
process[1]. For this bug here, what's needed in my view is:

b1) update the description with the filled in template of the SRU
template[2]. Impact should be easy/clear (it's a crash). Test plan
sounds like it's just install, start the service, see the crash, update
to the proposed version, notice no more crash. But the test should also
include something else that shows that xymon is working (access URL,
observe data flowing in, that sort of thing).

b2) Create debdiffs or MPs with the same fix applied on top of the
affected ubuntu releases, including jammy it seems. Maybe rebuild jammy
with FORTIFY=3 to check if it also crashes?


Is anybody willing to drive the SRU process?

@Roland, are you going to do an upload to debian soon?
