You even forgot to include half the changes since buster, as you missed
the changes in 4.1.3 (buster has 4.1.2).

Can you please investigate how severe these issues are that are being
fixed. The current delta with buster is big and not in line with the
freeze policy as I can't say that this is a targeted fix. Are all these
issues important or serious?

Can you also please give us a risk assessment for the unblock? If buster
were already released, would you have requested the same update?

Bug#928294: unblock: suricata/4.1.4-1

Although it is an upstream release, please unblock suricata 4.1.4-1 for
buster.
Suricata is an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), which makes it
exposed to malicious traffic by design. The upstream release 4.1.4 fixes
several bugs and security issues (no CVE numbers).

The debdiff since 4.1.3 is too big to be included here (it contains
updates to many auto-generated files like configure), so I'm adding the
upstream changelog here:

Changes

Bug #2870: pcap logging with lz4 coverity warning
Bug #2883: ssh: heap buffer overflow
Bug #2884: mpls: heapbuffer overflow in file decode-mpls.c
Bug #2887: decode-ethernet: heapbuffer overflow in file decode-ethernet.c
Bug #2888: 4.1.3 core in HCBDCreateSpace
Bug #2894: smb 1 create andx request does not parse the filename correctly
Bug #2902: rust/dhcp: panic in dhcp parser
Bug #2903: mpls: cast of misaligned data leads to undefined behavior
Bug #2904: rust/ftp: panic in ftp parser
Bug #2943: rust/nfs: integer underflow
This release includes Suricata-Update 1.0.5

I hope the new version can be included.

Best regards,
Pierre
