My Debian Activities in November 2024

Debian LTS

This was my hundred-twenty-fifth month that I did some work for the Debian LTS initiative, started by Raphael Hertzog at Freexian. During my allocated time I uploaded or worked on:

[DLA 3968-1] netatalk security update to fix four CVEs related to heap buffer overflow and writing arbitrary files. The patches have been prepared by the maintainer.
[DLA 3976-1] tgt update to fix one CVE related to not using a propper seed for rand()
[DLA 3977-1] xfpt update to fix one CVE related to a stack-based buffer overflow
[DLA 3978-1] editorconfig-core update to fix two CVEs related to buffer overflows.

I also continued to work on a fix for glewlwyd, which is more difficult than expected. Besides I started to work on ffmpeg and haproxy.

Last but not least I did a week of FD this month and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.

Debian ELTS

This month was the seventy-sixth ELTS month. During my allocated time I uploaded or worked on:

[ELA-1259-1]editorconfig-core security update for two CVEs in Buster to fix buffer overflows.

I also started to work on a fix for kmail-account-wizzard. Unfortunately preparing a testing environment takes some time and I did not finish testing this month. Besides I started to work on ffmpeg and haproxy.

Last but not least I did a week of FD this month and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.
