Debian LTS and ELTS report for February 2025
Hi,
This is summary on the work I did for Debian LTS and ELTS in February
2025. Thanks to Freexian and sponsors for making this possible [0].
This is the first month I've been active on LTS/ELTS. Many thanks to
Santiago for all the guidance and feedback he gave me during the
onboarding process.
Debian LTS
==========
[bind9] I published DLA-4050-1 fixing CVE-2024-11187 in Bullseye. In the
process I also added an autopkgtest to verify that the added patch works
as expected. I submitted the same autopkgtest for inclusion in the
maintainer's packaging branch on salsa [1].
Debian ELTS
===========
[bind9] I published ELA-1325-1 fixing CVE-2024-11187 in Buster and
Stretch, also backporting the same autopkgtest I added to the Bullseye
upload (see the Debian LTS section).
[bind9/jessie] Preliminary work on fixing CVE-2024-11187 in Jessie. The
patch I have does not easily backport. This is work planned for March.
Tooling
=======
I fixed a couple of bugs in src:autopkgtest that prevented some
autopkgtest-build-* tools from working properly with older Debian
releases [2, 3].
Cheers,
Paride
