[Pkg-openldap-devel] About the security issues affecting openldap in Wheezy

[Ola Lundqvist]

Dear maintainers,

The Debian LTS team recently reviewed the security issue(s) affecting your
package in Wheezy:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-14159

We decided that we would not prepare a wheezy security update (usually
because the security impact is low and that we concentrate our limited
resources on higher severity issues and on the most widely used packages).
That said the wheezy users would most certainly benefit from a fixed
package.

If you want to work on such an update, you're welcome to do so. Please
try to follow the workflow we have defined here:
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development

If that workflow is a burden to you, feel free to just prepare an
updated source package and send it to debian-lts at lists.debian.org (via a
debdiff, or with an URL pointing to the source package, or even with a
pointer to your packaging repository), and the members of the LTS team
will take care of the rest. However please make sure to submit a tested
package.

Thank you very much.

Ola Lundqvist,
  on behalf of the Debian LTS team.
