[Bug 1891061] Re: SRU: Bootable buildd images boot vulnerable kernels

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Cody, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into focal-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.664.5 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal

Title:
  SRU: Bootable buildd images boot vulnerable kernels

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Bootable buildd images are currently built from the -release pocket only,
     leaving them vulnerable to issues fixed by -updates and/or -security.

   * MP: #387164 [1] should be backported to ensure updated packages are used
     when building the bootable buildd images.

  [Test Case]

   * Inspect package manifest for bootable buildd images; verify outdated versions
     of packages

  [Regression Potential]

   * updated packages could break current assumptions for bootable buildd images, and cause
     boot or runtime failures, though this has not been seen in testing.
