I've worked during January 2025 on the below listed packages, for
Freexian LTS/ELTS [1]

Many thanks to Freexian and sponsors [2] for providing this opportunity!

busybox (DLA-4019-1 ELA-1311-1)
===============================

This month I worked on busybox for LTS and ELTS, fixing 12-14 CVEs per
releases, please refer to the announcements for details.

As busybox is a high profile package, significant efforts went into
triaging the vulnerabitlities against the versions in our release,
and git-bisecting the issues to narrow down when the vulnerabilities
have been introduced, summarized for the example of the bullseye upload:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2025/01/msg00013.html

As result some of the CVEs have been marked "postponed" (as no upstream
or upstream confirmed patch is available) or "ignored" (as a backport
would require significant rewritting and therefore too high risk to
introduce regressions, while the vulnerability was not triggerable with
an PoC available on the upstream bugtracker)
