Issues fixed in buster and bookworm but not in bullseye
Hi folks,
Whilst on front desk this week, I am noticing 23 packages that are of
the status:
"Issues fixed in buster and bookworm but not in bullseye".
In my opinion, this is problematic as those who will be upgrading from
buster -> bullseye will see it as a regression, as they'll now be
vulnerable once again.
Should we not be proactively dealing with such issues? Sorry if this
was raised earlier, but I see it as a bit odd & problematic.
Let me know what y'all think.
...and this naturally serves as a reminder that please fix CVEs that
you plan to publish a DLA for via -pu or DSA for the currently
supported releases, otherwise we'll be in this same situation.
P.S. I'm happy to work on most of these issues myself as I triage
them, but I just want to see how (strongly) we feel about them.
- u
