The VCS repository is not up to date, push the missing commits. high

vcswatch reports that the current version of the package is not in its VCS.
Either you need to push your commits and/or your tags, or the information about the package's VCS are out of date. A common cause of the latter issue when using the Git VCS is not specifying the correct branch when the packaging is not in the default one (remote HEAD branch), which is usually "master" but can be modified in salsa.debian.org in the project's general settings with the "Default Branch" field). Alternatively the Vcs-Git field in debian/control can contain a "-b <branch-name>" suffix to indicate what branch is used for the Debian packaging.

1 low-priority security issue in trixie low

There is 1 open security issue in trixie.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2025-14946: (needs triaging) A flaw was found in libnbd. A malicious actor could exploit this by convincing libnbd to open a specially crafted Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). This vulnerability arises because non-standard hostnames starting with '-o' are incorrectly interpreted as arguments to the Secure Shell (SSH) process, rather than as hostnames. This could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running libnbd.

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.

2 low-priority security issues in bookworm low

There are 2 open security issues in bookworm.

2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2023-5215: (needs triaging) A flaw was found in libnbd. A server can reply with a block size larger than 2^63 (the NBD spec states the size is a 64-bit unsigned value). This issue could lead to an application crash or other unintended behavior for NBD clients that doesn't treat the return value of the nbd_get_size() function correctly.
CVE-2024-7383: (needs triaging) A flaw was found in libnbd. The client did not always correctly verify the NBD server's certificate when using TLS to connect to an NBD server. This issue allows a man-in-the-middle attack on NBD traffic.

You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.

testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for libnbd (1.24.0-2 to 1.24.0-2.1): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Removal request by auto-removals
- ∙ ∙ Trying to remove package, not update it
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 2 of 5 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/libn/libnbd.html
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on arm64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on armhf
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on i386
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on ppc64el
- ∙ ∙ Remove hint for (transitive) dependency: libnbd, nbdkit
- Not considered
