commit bb13d2d94b51683bf769d803666a96f1df1bf5fb

    Install and use sysusers.d config file
    
    sysusers.d config files allow a package to use declarative configuration
    instead of manually written maintainer scripts.
    This also allows image-based systems to be created with /usr/ only, and
    also allows for factory resetting a system and recreating /etc/ on boot.

1 low-priority security issue in bookworm low

There is 1 open security issue in bookworm.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2022-3560: (needs triaging) A flaw was found in pesign. The pesign package provides a systemd service used to start the pesign daemon. This service unit runs a script to set ACLs for /etc/pki/pesign and /run/pesign directories to grant access privileges to users in the 'pesign' group. However, the script doesn't check for symbolic links. This could allow an attacker to gain access to privileged files and directories via a path traversal attack.

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