[SECURITY] [DLA 487-1] debian-security-support - Long term security support update

[news 28]

Package : debian-security-support

Version : 2016.05.24~deb7u1

 

The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team is unable to continue supporting

different packages in the extended life cycle of Wheezy LTS. The

debian-security-support package provides the check-support-status tool that

helps to warn the administrator about installed packages whose security support

is limited or has to prematurely end.

 

debian-security-support version 2016.05.24~deb7u1 updates the list of packages

with restricted support in Wheezy LTS, adding the following:

 

Source Package Last supported version EOL date Additional information

* libv8 3.8.9.20-2 2016-02-06 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2015/08/msg00035.html

* mediawiki 1:1.19.20+dfsg-0+deb7u3 2016-04-26 https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.html#mediawiki-security

* sogo 1.3.16-1 2016-05-19 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2016/05/msg00197.html

* vlc 2.0.3-5+deb7u2 2016-02-06 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2015/11/msg00049.html

 

If you rely on those packages on a system running Debian 7 "Wheezy", we

recommend you to upgrade to Debian 8 "Jessie", the current stable release.

Note however that the mediawiki support has also ended in Jessie.

 

We recommend you to install the debian-security-support package to verify the

support status of the packages installed on the system.
