My Debian Activities in February 2026

Debian LTS/ELTS

This was my hundred-fortieth 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 4474-1] rlottie security update to fix three CVEs related to boundary checks.
  • [DLA 4477-1] munge security update to fix one CVE related to a buffer overflow.
  • [DLA 4483-1] gimp security update to fix four CVEs related to arbitrary code execution.
  • [DLA 4487-1] gegl security update to fix two CVEs related to heap-based buffer overflow.
  • [DLA 4489-1] libvpx security update to fix one CVE related to a buffer overflow.
  • [ELA-1649-1] gimp security update to fix three CVEs in Buster and Stretch related to arbitrary code execution.
  • [ELA-1650-1] gegl security update to fix two CVEs in Buster and Stretch related to heap-based buffer overflow.

Some CVEs could be marked as not-affected for one or all LTS/ELTS-releases. I also worked on package evolution-data-server and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.

This month I continued to worked on unifying packaging on Debian and Ubuntu. This makes it easier to work on those packages independent of the used platform.

Debian Astro

This month I uploaded a new upstream version or a bugfix version of:

  • … c-munipack to unstable. This package now contains a version without GTK support. Upstream is working on a port to GTK3 but seems to need some more time to finish this.

  • … libfishcamp to unstable.
  • … libinovasdk to unstable.
  • … libmicam to unstable.
