I've been watching the recent
#OpenSSL vulnerabilities with Eagle eyes, first announced here:
https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/7aJwgbMEiKq5egQbd/ai-found-12-of-12-openssl-zero-days-while-curl-cancelled-itsThe OpenSSL fixes were out Jan 27th (as packaged up by
#Debian); it's just that Debian failed to mention it on their web page as of yet:
https://www.debian.org/security/But they did get mentioned here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2026/msg00022.html"For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
in version 3.0.18-1~deb12u2.
For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.5.4-1~deb13u2."
As of yet, these announcements never got into the Debian Security Announcement RSS feed either (
https://www.debian.org/security/dsa ). I have the unpopular view that email mailing lists are not really a good idea (as a means to disseminate information broadly, in a one-way-street sort of way), and should actually be
#RSS feeds.
