Hello dear maintainer(s), the Debian LTS team would like to fix the security issues which are currently open in the Wheezy version of apng2gif: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-6960 The problem has been successfully reproduced.
There are two more security issues that may be a problem as well. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-6961 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-6962 These two issues was not successfully reproduced but that could be an error in the reproduction process rather than that the package is not vulnerable. Would you like to take care of this yourself? If yes, please follow the workflow we have defined here: https://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 source package, or even with a pointer to your packaging repository), and the members of the LTS team will take care of the rest. Indicate clearly whether you have tested the updated package or not. If you don't want to take care of this update, it's not a problem, we will do our best with your package. Just let us know whether you would like to review and/or test the updated package before it gets released. You can also opt-out from receiving future similar emails in your answer and then the LTS Team will take care of apng2gif updates for the LTS releases. Thank you very much. Ola Lundqvist, on behalf of the Debian LTS team. PS: A member of the LTS team might start working on this update at any point in time.
