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!

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.
