[pkg-lxc-devel] Bug#1091164: bookworm-pu: package lxc/1:5.0.2-1+deb12u3

[Mathias Gibbens]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-lxc-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org, gibmat at debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:lxc

[ Reason ]
The version of lxc in bookworm segfaults when attempting to use a
shared host rootfs. Originally reported against lxc in sid as bug
#1085241, I have verified the issue is also present in bookworm.

The fix was included in the lxc 6.0.3 release, which has recently
migrated to testing. The relevant commit applies cleanly to lxc 5.0.2.

[ Impact ]
The version of lxc currently in bookworm will unexpectedly segfault if
configured to use a shared rootfs.

[ Tests ]
This issue was fixed in lxc 6.0.3. I have verified that lxc no longer
segfaults in bookworm with this fix applied.

[ Risks ]
Minor/none -- a missing check was added which will prevent null pointer
dereferencing.

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

[ Changes ]
Cherry-pick upstream commit d5c2d1efff92b2b992f10b29bd459a4b07875025,
which was included in the lxc 6.0.3 release.

[ Other info ]
The source debdiff is attached.
