Closes: 95052
Changes:
man-db (2.3.17.1-4) unstable; urgency=high
.
* Drop privileges in mandb when creating a temporary database in a
user-supplied manual hierarchy. Thanks to Ethan Benson for observing
this vulnerability.
* This was also fixed in 2.3.16-3 in potato; folded in changelog entries
from security updates.
.
* I noticed a stray /etc/cron.weekly/catman on my system. Although it was
definitely from this package, I can't quite work out from the changelog
when it was removed. At any rate, it's obsolete, so clean it up.
* Removed a spurious space in accessdb's usage output.
* whatis/apropos: Complain and exit immediately if a key in the database
is missing its value, indicating database corruption. Also disable
optimized btree walk for now, as seq() seems to be more tolerant of this
than get() for reasons I haven't tracked down yet (closes: #95052).
