Re: About the security issues affecting dcraw/ufraw/libraw/rawtherapee/rawstudio/exactimage/freeimage in Squeeze



Hi David,

(mostly using darkstar as an example. I don't event know that package - but I 
noticed that I decided not to care much about my squeeze-backports anymore (eg 
not to backport piuparts) while realizing I'd still do security fixes.)

I'm not sure this is what the backports project is expecting, cc:ing them to 
get their input.

A possible solution would be to remove the backport if it's not supported 
security wise anymore, or, express this via the debian-security-support 
package (which doesn't support backports yet) or to cease oldoldstable-
backports alltogether, which I think would be unfortunate.

And finally, if the issue is not worth fixing, this can also be documented in 
the security tracker...


cheers,
	Holger
