My Work on Debian LTS (October 2018)

after some nice family vacation in Tuscany, I did four hours of work on the Debian LTS project as a paid contributor at the end of this month. Thanks to all LTS sponsors for making this possible.

I move over a backlog of 4h from October to November (so I will work 12h on Debian LTS in November 2018).

Furthermore, I have signed up for Debian ELTS work with another 4h (as a start, more availability planned for upcoming months).

This is my list of work done in October 2018:

  • Upload of poppler (DLA 1562-1 [1]), fixing 4 CVEs
  • Discuss my research on CVE-2018-12689 in phpldapadmin from August 2018 with Antoine Beaupré who identified the published exploit as 'false positive' (for details, see his monthly LTS report for Octobre 2018).

Mike
