Marked for autoremoval on 12 October: #1145981 high
Version 4.12.0-1 of sos is marked for autoremoval from testing on Mon 12 Oct 2026. It is affected by #1145981. The removal of sos will also cause the removal of (transitive) reverse dependencies: blends, blendsel, cockpit, cockpit-files, cockpit-machines, cockpit-podman, debian-astro, debian-edu, debian-edu-config, debian-edu-install, debian-electronics, debian-fbx, debian-games, debian-gis, debian-hamradio, debian-junior, debian-med, debian-multimedia, debian-pan, debian-science, debichem, freedombox, live-tasks, tasksel. You should try to prevent the removal by fixing these RC bugs.

1 security issue in sid high

There is 1 open security issue in sid.

1 important issue:
  • CVE-2026-79655: A flaw was found in sos clean, a utility within the sos package. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform arbitrary file creation or overwrite. By crafting a malicious tar archive, an attacker can exploit a path traversal issue during tar extraction, where symlink and hardlink targets are not properly validated. This enables the attacker to write files to arbitrary locations on the system with the privileges of the sos clean process, which often runs as root.

  • CVE-2026-79655: (needs triaging) A flaw was found in sos clean, a utility within the sos package. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform arbitrary file creation or overwrite. By crafting a malicious tar archive, an attacker can exploit a path traversal issue during tar extraction, where symlink and hardlink targets are not properly validated. This enables the attacker to write files to arbitrary locations on the system with the privileges of the sos clean process, which often runs as root.

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