Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Usertags: pu

[ Reason ]
Fix a security issue CVE-2025-68462 where the backup data for several FreedomBox apps was stored with incorrect 
permissions. It was coordinated with the security team to batch the fix via upcoming point release.

[ Impact ]
Any user on the system can access some private data belonging to other users in some specific apps managed by 
FreedomBox. They can also access a stored password for a dynamic DNS service.

[ Tests ]
I tested using automated functional tests for backups and for the affected apps. I then manually checked that the 
backups-data directory had the expected permissions.

[ Risks ]
The code is fairly simple. After freedombox package is updated to have the fix, it will create or modify the 
backups-data folder to have the correct permissions.

[ Checklist ]
   [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
   [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
   [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
   [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
Besides the fix for the security issue, the following changes are included:
- Update handling of apt sources.list file to tolerate comments.
- Update release date for trixie that is shown in the interface.
- Update the manual to the version retrieved August 2nd that will match with trixie content.
