[Pkg-erlang-devel] couchdb update for CVE-2010-0009 in stable

[Giuseppe Iuculano]

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for couchdb some time ago.

CVE-2010-0009[0]:
| Apache CouchDB 0.8.0 through 0.10.1 allows remote attackers to obtain
| sensitive information by measuring the completion time of operations
| that verify (1) hashes or (2) passwords.

Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable.
It does not warrant a DSA.

However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point
update[1].
Please contact the release team for this.

This is an automatically generated mail, in case you are already working
on an
upgrade this is of course pointless.
