Package : subunit Version : 1.3.0-1+deb10u1

Subunit, a testing component for a few OpenStack projects, was affected by a major bug. This bug renders building and testing security updates of OpenStack components difficult, due to random crashes during building or testing, particularly keystone component.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.0-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your subunit packages.

For the detailed security status of subunit please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/subunit
