ELTS report December 2023 ========================= Due to the holiday season at the end of December some of the work was postponed until January. I intend to update this report with more information in January. The January 2024 and December 2023 report should be considered as a whole. 1. I have been working on a security update for Asterisk which is currently affected by three security problems. Another one (CVE-2023-38703) actually affects the PJSIP (pjproject) library in Stretch. The latter one is a minor use-after-free problem with limited security relevance thus the decision was made not to address it. 2. I have been working on fixing the current seven open CVE in squid3 (Jessie and Stretch). The release is pending. Similar to the Buster version the handling of CVE-2023-5824 has yet to be determined.
