Debian LTS/ELTS
This was my hundred-thirty-seventh month that I did some work for the Debian LTS initiative, started by Raphael Hertzog at Freexian and my eighty-eighth ELTS month. As the LTS- and ELTS-teams have been merged now, there is only one paragraph left for both activities.
During my allocated time I uploaded or worked on:
- [DLA 4381-1] net-snmp security update to fix two CVEs related to denial of service.
- [DLA 4382-1] libsdl2 security update to fix one CVE related to a memory leak and a denial of service.
- [DLA 4380-1] cups-filters security update to fix three CVEs related to out of bounds read or writes or a heap buffer overflow.
- [ELA-1586-1] cups-filters security update to fix three CVEs in Buster and Stretch, related to out of bounds read or writes or a heap buffer overflow.
- [libcupsfilters] upload to unstable to fix two CVEs
- [cups-filters] upload to unstable to fix three CVEs
- [cups] upload to unstable to fix two CVEs
- [rlottie] upload to unstable to finally fix three CVEs
- [rplay] upload to unstable to finally fix one CVE
- [#1121342] trixie-pu bug for libcupsfilters to fix two CVEs in Trixie.
- [#1121391] trixie-pu bug for cups-filter to fix three CVEs in Trixie.
- [#1121392] bookworm-pu bug for cups-filter to fix three CVEs in Bookworm.
- [#112433] trixie-pu bug for rlottie to finally fix three CVEs in Trixie.
- [#112437] bookworm-pu bug for rlottie to finally fix three CVEs in Bookworm.
I also attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting and did a week of LTS/ELTS frontdesk duties. I also stumbled upon a bug in python3-paramiko, where the parsing of include statements in the ssh_config does not work. Rather annoying but already fixed in the newest version, that only needs to find its way to my old VM.

On my fight against outdated RFPs, I closed 30 of them in November.
I started with about 3500 open RFP bugs. and after working six months on this project, I have closed 183 bugs. Of course new bugs appeared, so the overall number of bugs is only down to about 3360.
Though I view this as a successful project, I also have to admit that it is a bit boring to work on this daily. Therefore I close this diary again and will add the closed RFP bugs to my bug logbook now. I also try to close some of these bugs by really uploading some software, probably one package per month.
FTP master
This month I accepted 236 and rejected 16 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 247.
