Please pre-approve/unblock package dpkg.
[ Reason ]
This update includes:
- A minor security fix.
- A segfault fix.
- Fixes for Rules-Requires-Root values handling, to conform to spec,
and for Perl uninitialized variable warnings.
[ Impact ]
The security issue is minor (that's why it's not being handled via the
security team), but is covered by dpkg-deb security guarantees, and can
be used for DoS scenarios.
The crash impacts a valid use of dpkg-trigger.
The Rules-Requires-Root changes fix some uninitialized variable Perl
warnings (which the user cannot do anything about and are confusing),
make the code conform to the spec, and avoid potential build failures
(given that sbuild ends up now using this logic to decide whether to
install fakeroot).
[ Tests ]
The changes include unit and functional test updates covering the
fixes.
[ Risks ]
The changes are not very intrusive, and the tests should cover them.
(For some of the fixes more complex changes were discarded/postponed
to reduce risk, such as refactoring the Dpkg::BuildDriver::DebianRules
and Dpkg::BuildTree APIs, or replacing the "rm -rf" usage via
path_remove_tree() with a pure C treewalking implementation.)
[ Checklist ]
[√] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[√] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[√] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
Once these changes are approved, uploaded and migrated I'll be proposing
them as well for bookworm.
I've included the entire debdiff (compressed) against the previous
version, the following is the recipe that filters all auto-generated
and translation changes:
$ xzcat dpkg-1.22.20-1.22.21.debdiff.xz \
| filterdiff \
-x '*.po' -x '*.pot' -x '*/man/*/*.pod' \
-x '*.in' -x '*/configure' -x '*/build-aux/*' -x '*/src/at/*' \
# EOC
I'd expect (like as with the previous one! :) this to be the last
dpkg release targeting Debian trixie.
unblock dpkg/1.22.21
Thanks,
Guillem
