2 low-priority security issues in buster low

There are 2 open security issues in buster.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2020-28935: (needs triaging) NLnet Labs Unbound, up to and including version 1.12.0, and NLnet Labs NSD, up to and including version 4.3.3, contain a local vulnerability that would allow for a local symlink attack. When writing the PID file, Unbound and NSD create the file if it is not there, or open an existing file for writing. In case the file was already present, they would follow symlinks if the file happened to be a symlink instead of a regular file. An additional chown of the file would then take place after it was written, making the user Unbound/NSD is supposed to run as the new owner of the file. If an attacker has local access to the user Unbound/NSD runs as, she could create a symlink in place of the PID file pointing to a file that she would like to erase. If then Unbound/NSD is killed and the PID file is not cleared, upon restarting with root privileges, Unbound/NSD will rewrite any file pointed at by the symlink. This is a local vulnerability that could create a Denial of Service of the system Unbound/NSD is running on. It requires an attacker having access to the limited permission user Unbound/NSD runs as and point through the symlink to a critical file on the system.

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

testing migrations
  • This package is part of the ongoing testing transition known as auto-openssl. Please avoid uploads unrelated to this transition, they would likely delay it and require supplementary work from the release managers. On the other hand, if your package has problems preventing it to migrate to testing, please fix them as soon as possible. You can probably find supplementary information in the debian-release archives or in the corresponding release.debian.org bug.
  • excuses:
    • Migration status: Blocked. Can't migrate due to a non-migratable dependency. Check status below.
    • Blocked by: openssl
    • Migration status for nsd (4.4.0-1 to 4.5.0-1): BLOCKED: Cannot migrate due to another item, which is blocked (please check which dependencies are stuck)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Depends: nsd openssl (not considered)
    • ∙ ∙ Invalidated by dependency
    • Additional info:
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/n/nsd.html
    • ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for nsd/4.5.0-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass
    • ∙ ∙ Required age reduced by 3 days because of autopkgtest
    • ∙ ∙ 2 days old (needed 2 days)
    • Not considered
