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-2024-23301: (needs triaging) Relax-and-Recover (aka ReaR) through 2.7 creates a world-readable initrd when using GRUB_RESCUE=y. This allows local attackers to gain access to system secrets otherwise only readable by root.

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

testing migrations
  • excuses:
    • Migration status for rear (2.7+dfsg-1.2 to 2.9+dfsg-1): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 4 of 5 days old
    • Additional info:
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/r/rear.html
    • ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64 - info ♻
    • Not considered
