 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3806-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Stefano Rivera May 01, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : distro-info-data Version : 0.41+deb10u9

 This is a routine update of the distro-info-data database for Debian LTS users.

 It adds Ubuntu 24.10.

 Also included are LTS and ELTS columns for Debian, and ESM columns for Ubuntu. The version of distro-info in buster is not able to display the data from these columns, but they are present in the CSV.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.41+deb10u9.

 We recommend that you upgrade your distro-info-data packages.

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