Re: Bug#765631: unblock/ age to 5 days: wpa/2.3-1 (CVE-2014-3686, DSA-3052-1)



Hallo Stefan!

Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <s.L-H@gmx.de> (2014-10-16):

Looking at its changelog and the current d-i schedule (or slight lack
thereof), no objection from debian-boot@.

Thanks for the heads-up, appreciated.

FWIW that'd rather be:
  age-days 5 wpa/2.3-1
