Source: snort
Version: 2.9.15.1-6
Severity: serious
User: [email protected]
Usertags: time-t
Dear maintainers,
Analysis of the archive for the 64-bit time_t transition[0][1] identifies
snort as an affected package, on the basis that the headers could not be
compiled and analyzed out of the box using abi-compliance-checker[2], so we
have to assume it's affected.
However, snort's shlibs file declares a dependency on a library package name
that contains no ABI information:
$ cat DEBIAN/shlibs
libsf_sorules 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_engine 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_appid_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_dce2_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_dnp3_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_dns_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_ftptelnet_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_gtp_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_imap_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_modbus_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_pop_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_reputation_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_sdf_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_sip_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_smtp_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_ssh_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
libsf_ssl_preproc 0 snort-common-libraries (>= 2.9.15.1)
$
It is not obvious that we should rename the package to
'snort-common-librariest64' as part of this transition.
Looking at the archive, there is a package that depends on this library,
snort. Despite being built from the same source package, it does not have a
strict versioned dependency on snort-common-libraries but instead uses the
shlibs.
Since there is no self-evident thing to do with the library package name
here, we will not be handling this package as part of the mass NMUs.
Instead I am filing a serious bug because partial upgrades from bookworm to
trixie on 32-bit architectures (upgrading snort-common-libraries without
also upgrading snort) will result in ABI skew and may result in broken
behavior.
Thanks,
