@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)according to repology, perl also has an update for security, though i am too unfamiliar with our perl to judge whether we already patched it or not15:18:33
@tgerbet:matrix.orgtgerbetYep it is, was done in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39835915:21:20
@stigo:matrix.orgstigonixpkgs was one of the first distros to get patched, and our security team has been added to the pre-release disclosure list for perl-security since then17:11:55

@djacu:matrix.orgdjacuHey Security Team In case you haven't seen the recent post on discourse, the Marketing Team is preparing this year's community survey. I am reaching out to teams to see if there are any questions they would like to add to the survey to better serve the work you all do. More details in the post linked below. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/community-feedback-requested-2025-nix-community-survey-planning/6615503:29:17

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-6816 | https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues/5571
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-6750 | https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues/5549

hdf5 doesn't have a new release, and none of these CVEs have patches yet either. I'll be watching the issues, i have my own projects that depend on hdf5 (bachelors thesis) but figured i might as well post these here too. Fix will likely only come out in September.

@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)there might well be more, seems some new people started actually fuzzing that lib. There is POCs and all, but assigned severity is all somewhat low. Still safe to say the next release is security-relevant07:57:13
