Bug#679172: libc-2.11.3.so: ls[8213]: segfault in libc-2.11.3.so
Sorry, it was a severe hardware problem on the main board, probably the CPU − I could not even boot up the system again once after shutting it down. This just goes to show how robust Linux is because it just reported a few segfaults from time to time. Axel
Bug#555168: Unclear license situation for (e)glibc locales provided by you
Hello Keld, I was told that this e-mail address is the successor to the (no longer working) one keld.simon...@dkuug.dk. If that is not the case please accept my apologizes (and maybe you know the correct current contact details in that case?). You are listed as contact person/author of the following locales: da_DK de_BE de_CH de_LU el_GR en_AU en_CA en_DK en_GB en_IE en_NZ es_AR es_BO es_CL es_CO es_DO es_EC es_ES es_GT es_HN es_MX es_PA es_PE es_PY es_SV es_US es_UY es_VE eu_ES fi_FI fo_FO fr_BE fr_CA fr_CH fr_LU he_IL it_CH iw_IL kl_GL nl_BE nl_NL pl_PL POSIX pt_BR pt_PT ru_RU sv_FI sv_SE hu_HU ro_RO tr_TR These locales come with a statement % Distribution and use is free, also % for commercial purposes. Thus they do not allow modification; it is unclear, however, if this statement was meant as a license. As discussed in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555168 these locales could strictly speaking not be part of Debian which would be a great loss. (Currently they are allowed pending investigation). To properly resolve this, I would like to ask you the following question: Would you be willing to relicense these locale(s) to a proper license, e.g. (L)GPL v2 or higher or another free software license of your choice? If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact me (via the reply-to address set). Thanks for helping to resolve this!

I hereby grant all my locales to be licensed under GPL v2.

Adding the internal organisational list to the CC field so that representatives of the traduc.org can give a stance in name of the organization. PS: coucou, traduc.org..:-)...Bon, en gros, vous avez sûrement compris mais c'est vrai qu'il y a une action en cours actuellement, dans Debian, pour clarifier la licence des locales où celle-ci n'est pas claire. Je n'ai évidemment aucun doute sur les intentions de traduc.org par rapport à la locale fr_FR (utiliser une licence libre), mais il faut que quelqu'un confirme cela, évidemment. Ce serait quand même un peu ballot que Debian retire la locale française de la libc. Je serais largement au chomage..:-) The fr_FR was taken over by traduc.org in March 2008, and the update of this file have been discussed on the traduc mail list from January to March 2008 (http://listes.traduc.org/pipermail/traduc/). At that time, the license was not discussed, as we were under the impression this file was part of the glibc and distributed under the same license. The original author of this file is Keld Jørn Simonsen. Provided that Keld Jørn Simonsen agree with this, we would be very happy to see this file officially put under a Free license. Using the same license as the glibc would be fine for us. Hope that helps.

Bug#681473: CVE-2012-3404 CVE-2012-3405 CVE-2012-3406
Package: eglibc Severity: important Tags: security Hi, please see http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2012/07/11/17 for details and references to upstream patches. The security impact is rather low IMO; if the format strings are under control of a attacker, this opens a whole can of worms anyway. Still, it would be nice to get these fixed for Wheezy and for Squeeze in a point update.
