Hi!
Moritz from the security team brought to the attention of the cinnamon team
that cinnamon-settings-daemon in stable contains a minor security issue that has
already been fixed in upstream.
This issue doesn't warrant a DSA, as it's only a circumvention of policykit
restrictions, but it would be good to fix it in a future point release.
I'm attaching the debdiff between the version currently in stable and the
proposed package for the point release.
Thanks!
