8. By Paul Martin <email address hidden> on 2009-08-14

* New patch:
  + security-388608.patch: A race condition in the creation of
    compressed and copied log files makes it possible to overwrite
    arbitrary files by generating a link or symlink during a window
    of opportunity between logrotate renaming a log file and creating
    the copy of the next. (Closes: #388608) Once again, many thanks to
    Florian Zumbiehl for forcing me to think.
* Uploading to unstable.

7. By Paul Martin <email address hidden> on 2009-08-06

* Backport patch from 3.7.8-3 (in experimental):
  + nofollow.patch: If a logfile is a symlink, it may be read when
    being compressed, being copied (copy, copytruncate) or mailed.
    Secure data (eg. password files) may be exposed. Thanks to
    Florian Zumbiehl for getting me thinking about this one.
