@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat At a glance it's difficult for me to estimate how serious these are. (and thus if staging-next is worth the rebuild with the PR) 05:49:05

In reply to @vcunat:matrix.org
At a glance it's difficult for me to estimate how serious these are. (and thus if staging-next is worth the rebuild with the PR)
From the descriptions alone I would say "CVE-2026-34001: XSYNC Use-after-free" is probably the most dangerous one since it could theoretically allow for local priv esc but that would need more work

@kuflierl:matrix.orgkuflierlRedacted or Malformed Event08:09:26
@kuflierl:matrix.orgkuflierl * i have not read the structs being freed, this is just me assuming there is a pointer somewhere in that strict 08:09:35

@fgaz:matrix.orgfgaz Critical sandbox escape in luanti https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/510535 09:09:15
@k900:0upti.meK900Maybe just backport the fixed version? It's a videogame, do we really need to worry about breakage here09:10:55
@fgaz:matrix.orgfgazI don't know, I don't have time to review the breaking changes right now09:12:06
@fgaz:matrix.orgfgazkeep in mind it includes a game server as well. breaking changes might affect server operators09:12:44
@k900:0upti.meK900OK, going to merge for now09:12:44
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatHere's another case of dilemma between pulling breaking changes vs. marking as insecure: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/50087611:50:14
@sandro:supersandro.deSandroJust build the package on hydra and then people can consume it without pain when allowing it.13:35:09
@hexa:lossy.networkhexahow about porting the patches?13:36:05
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatAnother complication is that packages marked as insecure won't be built by Hydra, yes.13:47:23
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat* Another complication is (generally) that packages marked as insecure won't be built by Hydra, yes.13:48:10
@sandro:supersandro.deSandroWe are running in absolute circles here, it would make so many things so much easier and things could be marked as vulnerable without having to worry about criplying peoples experience when they do not have a heavy server to compile stuff16:29:28
@sandro:supersandro.deSandroI try to avoid that as much as possible. If there are not many changes in between that can be easily done but than you can also just update the package. If there are many changes, I am just going to throw the update on people regardless if there are breaking changes. It just takes to much of my time to properly test those patches on old things I am nowhere using.16:31:11

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywhat's going in circles is you restarting this argument unprompted every single time...16:37:39
