My Debian Activities in December 2025

Debian LTS/ELTS

This was my hundred-thirty-eighth month that I did some work for the Debian LTS initiative, started by Raphael Hertzog at Freexian. (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:

  • [cups] upload to unstable to fix an issue with the latest security upload
  • [libcoap3] uploaded to unstable to fix ten CVEs
  • [gcal] check whether security bug reports are really security bug reports (no, they are not and no CVEs have been issued yet)
  • [#1124284] trixie-pu for libcoap3 to fix ten CVEs in Trixie.
  • [#1121342] trixie-pu bug; debdiff has been approved and libcupsfilters uploaded.
  • [#1121391] trixie-pu bug; debdiff has been approved and cups-filter uploaded.
  • [#1121392] bookworm-pu bug; debdiff has been approved and cups-filter uploaded.
  • [#1121433] trixie-pu bug; debdiff has been approved and rlottie uploaded.
  • [#1121437] bookworm-pu bug; debdiff has been approved and rlottie uploaded.
  • [#1124284] trixie-pu bug; debdiff has been approved and libcoap3 uploaded.

I also tried to backport the libcoap3-patches to Bookworm, but I am afraid the changes would be too intrusive.

When I stumbled upon a comment for 7zip about “finding the patches might be a hard”, I couldn’t believe it. Well, Daniel was right and I didn’t find any.

Furthermore I worked on suricata, marked some CVEs as not-affected or ignored, and added some new patches. Unfortunately my allocated time was spent before I could do a new upload.

I also attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.

Last but not least I injected some packages for uploads to security-master.

Debian Printing

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

  • … cups to unstable.

This work is generously funded by Freexian!

Debian Lomiri

I started to contribute to Lomiri packages, which are part of the Debian UBports Team. As a first step I took care of failing CI pipelines and tried to fix them. A next step would be to package some new Applications.

This work is generously funded by Fre(i)e Software GmbH!

Debian Astro

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

Debian IoT

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

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.

  • [#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.

This month I accepted 420 and rejected 45 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 423.

I would like to remind everybody that in case you don’t agree with the removal of a package, please set the moreinfo tag on this bug. This is the only reliable way to prevent processing of that RM-bug. Well, there is a second way, of course you could also achieve this by closing the bug.

My Debian Activities in September 2025

Debian LTS

This was my hundred-thirty-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:

My Debian Activities in August 2025

Debian LTS

This was my hundred-thirty-fourth 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 4272-1] aide security update of two CVEs where a local attacker can take advantage of these flaws to hide the addition or removal of a file from the the report, tamper with the log output, or cause aide to crash during report printing or database listing.
  • [DLA 4284-1] udisks2 security update to fix one CVE related to a possible local privilege escalation.

  • [#1112054] trixie-pu of golang-github-gin-contrib-cors, prepared and uploaded
  • [#1112335] trixie-pu of libcoap3, prepared and uploaded
  • [#1112053] bookworm-pu of golang-github-gin-contrib-cors, prepared and uploaded

I also continued my work on suricata and could backport all patches. Now I have to do some tests with the package. I also started to work on an openafs regression and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.

Debian ELTS

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

  • [ELA-1499-1] aide security update to fix one embargoed CVE in Stretch, related to a crash. The other CVE mentioned above was not affecting Stretch.
  • [ELA-1508-1] udisks2 security update to fix one embargoed CVE in Stretch and Buster.

I could also mark the CVEs of libcoap as not-affected. I also attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.Of course like for LTS, As suricata had been requested for Stretch as well now, I didn’t not finish my work here.

Debian Printing

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

My Debian Activities in July 2025

Debian LTS

This was my hundred-thirty-third 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 4255-1] audiofile security update of two CVEs related to an integer overflow and a memory leak.
  • [DLA 4256-1] libetpan security update to fix one CVE related to prevent a null pointer dereference.
  • [DLA 4257-1] libcaca security update to fix two CVEs related to heap buffer overflows.
  • [DLA 4258-1] libfastjson security update to fix one CVE related to an out of bounds write.
  • [#1106867] kmail-account-wizard was marked as accepted

I also continued my work on suricata, which turned out to be more challenging than expected. This month I also did a week of FD duties and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.

Debian ELTS

This month was the eighty-fourth ELTS month. Unfortunately my allocated hours were far less than expected, so I couldn’t do as much work as planned.

Most of the time I spent with FD tasks and I also attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting. I further listened to the debusine talks during debconf. On the one hand I would like to use debusine to prepare uploads for embargoed ELTS issues, on the other hand I would like to use debusine to run the version of lintian that is used in the different releases. At the moment some manual steps are involved here and I tried to automate things. Of course like for LTS, I also continued my work on suricata.

Debian Printing

This month I uploaded a new upstream version of:

Guess what, I also started to work on a new version of hplip and intend to upload it in August.

This work is generously funded by Freexian!

Debian Astro

This month I uploaded new upstream versions of:

  • … supernovas (sponsored upload to experimental)
  • … calceph (sponsored upload to experimental)

I also uploaded the new package boinor. This is a fork of poliastro, which was retired by upstream and removed from Debian some months ago. I adopted it and rebranded it at the desire of upstream. boinor is the abbreviation of BOdies IN ORbit and I hope this software is still useful.

Debian Mobcom

Unfortunately I didn’t found any time to work on this topic.

misc

On my fight against outdated RFPs, I closed 31 of them in July. Their number is down to 3447 (how can you dare to open new RFPs? :-)). Don’t be afraid of them, they don’t bite and are happy to be released to a closed state.

FTP master

The peace will soon come to an end, so this month I accepted 87 and rejected 2 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 100.

My Debian Activities in June 2025

Debian LTS

This was my hundred-thirty-second 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 4221-1] libblockdev security update of one embargoed CVE related to obtaining full root privileges.
  • [hardening udisks2] uploaded new version of udisks2 with a hardening patch related to DLA 4221-1
  • [DLA 4235-1] sudo security update to fix one embargoed CVE related to prevent a local privilege escalation.
  • [#1106867] got permission to upload kmail-account-wizard; the package was marked as accepted in July.

This month I also did a week of FD duties and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.

Debian ELTS

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

  • [ELA-1465-1] libblockdev security update to fix one embargoed CVE in Buster, related to obtaining full root privileges.
  • [ELA-1475-1] gst-plugins-good1.0 security update to fix 16 CVEs in Stretch. This also includes cherry picking other commits to make this fixes possible.
  • [ELA-1476-1] sudo security update to fix one embargoed CVE in Buster, Stretch and Jessie. The fix is related to prevent a local privilege escalation.

This month I also did a week of FD duties and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.

Debian Printing

This month I uploaded bugfix versions of:

  • … lprng to update translations.
  • … mtink to update translations
  • … cups to fix a FTBFS introduced by changes to systemd

Thanks a lot again to the Release Team who quickly handled all my unblock bugs!

This month I uploaded bugfix versions of:

Unfortunately I stumbled over a discussion about RFPs. One part of those involved wanted to automatically close older RFPs, the other part just wanted to keep them. But nobody suggested to really take care of those RFPs. Why is it easier to spend time on talking about something instead of solving the real problem? Anyway, I had a look at those open RFPs. Some of them can be just closed because they haven’t been closed when uploading the corresponding package. For some others the corresponding software has not seen any upstream activity for several years and depends on older software no longer in Debian (like Python 2). Such bugs can be just closed. Some requested software only works together with long gone technology (for example the open Twitter API). Such bugs can be just closed. Last but not least, even the old RFPs contain nice software, that is still maintained upstream and useful. One example is ta-lib that I uploaded in June. So, please, let’s put our money where out mouths are. My diary of closed RFP bugs is on people.d.o. If only ten people follow suit, all bugs can be closed within a year.

FTP master

It is still this time of the year when just a few packages arrive in NEW: it is Hard Freeze. So please don’t hold it against me that I enjoy the sun more than processing packages in NEW. This month I accepted 104 and rejected 13 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 105.

My Debian Activities in May 2025

Debian LTS

This was my hundred-thirty-first 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 4168-1] openafs security update of three CVEs related to theft of credentials, crashes or buffer overflows.
  • [DLA 4196-1] kmail-account-wizard security update to fix one CVE related to a man-in-the-middle attack when using http instead of https to get some configuration.
  • [DLA 4198-1] espeak-ng security update to fix five CVEs related to buffer overflow or underflow in several functions and a floating point exception. Thanks to Samuel Thibault for having a look at my debdiff.
  • [#1106867] created Bookworm pu-bug for kmail-account-wizard. Thanks to Patrick Franz for having a look at my debdiff.

I also continued my to work on libxmltok and suricata. This month I also had to do some support on seger, for example to inject packages newly needed for builds.

Debian ELTS

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

  • [ELA-1444-1] kmail-account-wizard security update to fix two CVEs in Buster related to a man-in-the-middle attack when using http instead of https to get some configuration. The other issue is about a misleading UI, in which the state of encryption is shown wrong.
  • [ELA-1445-1] espeak-ng security update to fix five CVEs in Stretch and Buster. The issues are related to buffer overflow or underflow in several functions and a floating point exception.

All packages I worked on have been on the list of longstanding packages. For example espeak-ng has been on this list for more than nine month. I now understood that there is a reason why packages are on this list. Some parts of the software have been almost completely reworked, so that the patches need a “reverse” rework. For some packages this is easy, but for others this rework needs quite some time. I also continued to work on libxmltok and suricata.

Debian Printing

Unfortunately I didn’t found any time to work on this topic.

It is this time of the year when just a few packages arrive in NEW: it is Hard Freeze. So I enjoy this period and basically just take care of kernels or other important packages. As people seem to be more interested in discussions than in fixing RC bugs, my period of rest seems to continue for a while. So thanks for all this valuable discussions and really thanks to the few people who still take care of Trixie. This month I accepted 146 and rejected 10 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 147.

My Debian Activities in April 2025

Debian LTS

This was my hundred-thirtieth 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 4145-1] expat security update of one CVE related to a crash within XML_ResumeParser() because XML_StopParser() can stop/suspend an unstarted parser.
  • [DLA 4146-1] libxml2 security update to fix two CVEs related to an out-of-bounds memory access in the Python API and a heap-buffer-overflow.
  • [debdiff] sent libxml2 debdiff to maintainer for update of two CVEs in Bookworm.
  • [debdiff] sent libxml2 debdiff to maintainer for update of two CVEs in Unstable.

This month I did a week of FD duties. I also started to work on libxmltok. Adrian suggested to also check the CVEs that might affect the embedded version of expat. Unfortunately these are a bunch of CVEs to check and the month ended before the upload. I hope to finish this in May. Last but not least I continued to work on the second batch of fixes for suricata CVEs.

Debian ELTS

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

  • [ELA-1411-1] expat security update to fix one CVE in Stretch and Buster related to a crash within XML_ResumeParser() because XML_StopParser() can stop/suspend an unstarted parser.
  • [ELA-1412-1] libxml2 security update to fix two CVEs in Jessie, Stretch and Buster related to an out-of-bounds memory access in the Python API and a heap-buffer-overflow.

This month I did a week of FD duties.
I also started to work on libxmltok. Normally I work on machines running Bullseye or Bookworm. As the Stretch version of libxmltok needs a debhelper version of 5, which is no longer supported on Bullseye, I had to create a separate Buster VM. Yes, Stretch is becoming old. As well as with LTS I need to also check the CVEs that might affect the embedded version of expat.
Last but not least I started to work on the second batch of fixes for suricata CVEs.

Debian Astro

Unfortunately I didn’t found any time to upload packages.

Have you ever heard of poliastro? It was a package to do calculations related to astrodynamics and orbital mechanics? It was archived by upstream end of 2023. I am now trying to revive it under the new name boinor and hope to get it back into Debian over the next months.

This is almost the last month that Patrick, our Outreachy intern for the Debian Astro project, is handling his tasks. He is working on automatic updates of the indi 3rd-party driver.
