Debian Long Term Support work 2024 September

LTS

  • Continued to work on gen-DSA/gen-DLA to ensure that the package is related to the mentioned CVEs.
  • Proposed a solution for one problem with the monthly report. Committed after getting acceptance for the solution.
  • Started to work on a solution to locate the cases when a DLA has corrected an issue but later releases has not fixed it. Some discussions to settle on a good solution.

ELTS

  • Gave advice in whether CVE-2024-21096 is worth fixing considering the compatibility introduced. My conclusion is that the compatibility problem is acceptable and should not prevent fixing the problem.
