@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat It's a huge rebuild, so there's at least one week of time (before starting another staging-next*) 10:00:27
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat Unless we'd like to scrap the few days of the current staging-next-25.11. (as this one looks potentially quite serious) 10:01:13
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat * Unless we'd like to scrap the few days of the current staging-next-25.11. (as this one looks potentially quite serious; see the first Impact: section) 10:02:23
@meadow_weasel:matrix.org@meadow_weasel:matrix.org left the room.15:04:56
@ma27:nicht-so.sexyma27 glibc security update: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/503779 16:40:27
@ma27:nicht-so.sexyma27also checking if 25.11 is affected (I think so). can I target -next-25.11 oder rather staging?16:41:01
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat-linux is over 40% rebuilt in there, so unless it's critical...17:11:44
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat * -linux is over 40% rebuilt in there, so unless it's critical, I'd choose staging-25.11. 17:12:00
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat * -linux is over 40% rebuilt in there, so unless it's really urgent, I'd choose staging-25.11. 17:12:14
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatThe description doesn't sound serious to me, at a quick read: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34014#c017:15:27
@ma27:nicht-so.sexyma27agreed. it's also not even on the 2.40 release branch 🤷17:17:33
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatI honestly don't get it. A prerequisite is that your configured DNS resolver is malicious. And the impact is that answer returned by that resolver is interpreted incorrectly? I guess I'm too tired today?17:17:46

@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She] manual backport of the last 3 nats-server releases to fix a few security issues for it on release-25.11 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/503952 04:52:26
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She](by a few, I mean a lot, there's over 10 issues open from sectracker rn)04:52:50
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]none of the open issues affect master branch since it's on the latest release that has fixes for all known issues that are on nixpkgs' security tracker04:55:16
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatI'd say it has security aspects, but no idea about severity: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/50386906:20:31
@ma27:nicht-so.sexyma27 grafana security updates: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/504009, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/504014 (25.11) 10:33:43
@sasha:the-apothecary.clubMoved to @sashanoraa:matrix.org changed their display name from Sashanoraa.gay (she/her, ze/zir) to Moved to @sashanoraa:matrix.org.15:27:45

@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossWhether this is an mbedtls security fix depends on how much you trust in ad-hoc identification and workarounds of each instance of a systemic problem, I suppose, but people in here might like to be aware of it https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/50431808:19:38
@k900:0upti.meK900Ewwwww08:24:30
@k900:0upti.meK900 That's just UB no? 08:24:37
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyhttps://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/releases/tag/v5.9.0-stable18:04:14
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythree high-severity CVEs and a bunch of others, no PR after ten days 🫠18:04:28
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily it's used in only 9 other packages and I'm about to make that 8. perhaps we should consider dropping. maybe tgerbet has input since he had to do the last update. (but #security-discuss:nixos.org for that ofc) 18:05:21
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyoh, very sorry, it was already merged… ignore me18:06:26
