[ Reason ]
Hi! Upstream has provided an advisory:
https://github.com/tillitis/tkeyclient/security/advisories/GHSA-4w7r-3222-8h6v
While this could be handled by a security patch, due to the complexity
of upstream's recommended solution (involving patches to
'tkey-ssh-agent' too) and low impact, it was suggested on
#debian-security to use the proposed-updated mechanism instead to just
update both packages to latest upstream version.
I'm attaching the debdiff between 1.2.0 and 1.3.0 and I suggest
something similar could be uploaded to trixie-proposed-updates.
What do you think? Is this an acceptable way to resolve this?
If so I can prepare a similar debdiff bug report for 'tkey-ssh-agent'
for your additional review. These two would have to go together.
[ Impact ]
If this isn't adopted, one out of 256 users that provides a USS secret
will not actually make use of the USS, thus possibly lowering their
perceived security.
[ Tests ]
This is upstream patches, so presumably well tested.
[ Risks ]
There is always a risk upstream's patches are buggy and cause unrelated
problems.
