Changelog

Version: 2.9.8ubuntu0.1 2025-03-20 23:06:54 UTC

  apt (2.9.8ubuntu0.1) oracular; urgency=medium

  * Fix buffer overflow, stack overflow, exponential complexity in
    apt-ftparchive Contents generation (LP: #2083697)
    - ftparchive: Mystrdup: Add safety check and bump buffer size
    - ftparchive: contents: Avoid exponential complexity and overflows
    - test framework: Improve valgrind support
    - test: Check that apt-ftparchive handles deep paths
  * Workaround valgrind "invalid read" in ExtractTar::Go by moving large
    buffer from stack to heap. The large buffer triggered some bugs in
    valgrind stack clash protection handling.
  * debian/gbp.conf: Point at oracular branch
