An audit was performed on libcap and friends by ​https://x41-dsec.de/ (​blog) . The audit (​final report, 2023-05-10) was sponsored by the the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund, ​https://ostif.org/ (​blog). Five issues were found. Four of them are addressed in this release. Each issue was labeled in the audit results as follows:

  • LCAP-CR-23-01 (SEVERITY) LOW (CVE-2023-2602) - found by David Gstir
  • LCAP-CR-23-02 (SEVERITY) MEDIUM (CVE-2023-2603) - found by Richard Weinberger
  • LCAP-CR-23-100 (SEVERITY) NONE
  • LCAP-CR-23-101 (SEVERITY) NONE
  • LCAP-CR-23-102 (SEVERITY) NONE

Man page style improvement from Emanuele Torre

Partially revive the ability to build the binaries fully statically.

  • This was needed to make bleeding edge kernel debugging/testing via qemu+busybox work again. Addressing an issue I realized only when I tried to answer this stackexchange question.
