Hi,
A security issue has been reported against your package po4a:

It seems the new upstream 0.32 fixes this.
Please mention the CVE id in the changelog when fixing this.
Also please check whether stable and oldstable are vulneable and coordinate
with the security team.
Thanks,
Thijs

Version: 0.31-1
The fix was included in the Debian 0.31-1 package. Closing the bug
accordingly.
The risk is quite low and will not deserve a DSA.
I asked the stable release managers whether the fix could be included in
sarge and etch.
Kind Regards,
