Subject: About the security issues affecting xfsprogs in Squeeze

Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 17:57:44 +0200

Hello Nathan,

the Debian LTS team recently reviewed the security issue(s) affecting your
package in Squeeze:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2012-2150

We decided that we would not prepare a squeeze security update (usually
because the security impact is low and that we concentrate our limited
resources on higher severity issues and on the most widely used packages).
That said the squeeze users would most certainly benefit from a fixed
package.

If you want to work on such an update, you're welcome to do so. Please
try to follow the workflow we have defined here:
http://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development

If that workflow is a burden to you, feel free to just prepare an
updated source package and send it to debian-lts@lists.debian.org
(via a debdiff, or with an URL pointing to the the source package,
or even with a pointer to your packaging repository), and the members
of the LTS team will take care of the rest. However please make sure to
submit a tested package.

Thank you very much.

Raphaël Hertzog,
  on behalf of the Debian LTS team.

I tend to agree - seems like a fairly minor issue & I don't have a huge
amount of spare time either.  I'll concentrate on getting next upstream
release with the fix uploaded to unstable as soon as possible though -
but I'm not likely to get to backporting this one.

Thanks for the heads-up!

cheers.
