Dear Release Team,

The MapServer project has released stable updates for every major
release from 5.6.x up fixing a security issue which allows a potential
leakage of information through an SQL injection when using TIME filtering in
conjunction with PostGIS backends. More information can be found in the
dedicated upstream issue: #4834

https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/4834

I've updated the MapServer package for wheezy to the latest stable
upstream release of the 6.0 series: 6.0.4. This release includes more
fixes than just for the security issues. See the upstream changelog for
a complete list:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-grass/mapserver.git;a=blob;f=HISTORY.TXT;h=5a931d18c3e5c0ca603d32a56a025f62d5735c29;hb=0ff020ce9ff9b8fe712f98b734bfdfa4638bff1b

Would this be acceptable for wheezy-proposed-updates, or must I really
only backport the security fixes for 6.0.1-3.2+deb7u2?

The current changelog for the UNRELEASED version is:

 * New stable upstream release. Contains multiple security fixes.
 * Refresh patches.
 * Drop patch php54, applied upstream in modified form.


Kind Regards,

Bas
