Thanks for this upload. FYI, have uploaded some minutes ago now as
well a corresponding version for bullseye-security to security-master.
Thank you! As for bookworm, I'm unhappy with the security tracker
status of "ignored". Would you please ACK an upgrade of the empty
package's emacs dependency to ( >= emacs_fixed_version )? That way the metadata would ensure that it's fixed. Feel free to do it yourself, if
you'd prefer, but I have not been ignoring the state of bookworm, so
want users to see "fixed", and feel safe, rather than see "ignored" and wonder about apathy in the face of scary vulnerabilities.
I admit, the state might be confusing, but it's tracking the source
package, thus ignored with the attached reason. (In fact we are
pondering if we can/should introduce a substate of unfixed for such
cases where no binary package are affected, we cannot use the usual
unimportant here, see tracker documentation, because of the severity
would affect the source package as whole).
I think users are cofused about the state mostly using comvercial
security scanner thinking the security-tracker exposes information
about the binary packages, which is not true.
Hope this clarifies things up for you?
I also received a bug report about how bookworm's org-mode-doc shadows
the docs provided by emacs-common-non-dfsg. A similar empty package,
plus ( >= emacs-common-non-dfsg ) would fix that.
This indeed might go in with an upcoming point release but is out of
scope for a security update.
Looking forward to hearing what you think,
Nicholas
Thanks for all your work, and regards
Salvatore
