Change logs for man-db source package in Bionic

  • man-db (2.8.3-2ubuntu0.1) bionic; urgency=medium
    
      * Backport seccomp sandbox improvements from 2.8.4 (LP: #1785414):
        - Allow sched_getaffinity, used by xz in some cases.
        - Allow some shared memory operations, required by preloaded libraries
          such as the Astrill VPN.
        - Improve ESET File Security compatibility further.

  • man-db (2.8.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * AppArmor: Allow man_filter to read from anywhere, since there are no
        real restrictions on where manual page files may be, and the worst this
        can do is feed data to the invoking man process.
      * AppArmor: Allow man and its related profiles to exchange signals.

        - sandbox: Allow sibling architectures on x86/x86_64/x32 (closes:

  • man-db (2.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream release.
      * Use stacked profiles for subprocesses so that AppArmor realises that
        they constitute a reduction in privileges and allows the transition even
        after a seccomp filter has been installed.
      * Build with seccomp again, now that it works in conjunction with
        AppArmor.
      * Breaks/Replaces manpages-tr (<< 1.0.5.1-3) (closes: #889805).

  • man-db (2.8.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Build without seccomp for now, until I work out how to make it play well
        with AppArmor on recent kernels (closes: #889608, #889626).

      [ Colin Watson ]
      * New upstream release:
        - If man adds prefixes to a page to handle such things as disabling
          hyphenation, then take account of those when looking for a
          preprocessor line at the start of the page (closes: #867857).
        - Confine most subprocesses that handle untrusted data using seccomp
          (closes: #877199).
      * Move VCS to salsa.debian.org.
    
      [ Benjamin Drung ]
      * Fix malformed debian/changelog entry (closes: #886649).

  • man-db (2.7.6.1-4) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Add missing AppArmor lock access.
      * Recent kernels revalidate open FDs, and there are often some still open
        on TTYs.  Temporarily add <abstractions/consoles> to AppArmor groff and
        filter child profiles until we have a chance to teach man to close
        irrelevant open FDs before execve (closes: #882405).

  • man-db (2.7.6.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Add a simple AppArmor profile to confine groff-related programs,
        decompressors, and other filters when run from man.
