apt (2.4.14) jammy; urgency=medium

  * Fix buffer overflow, stack overflow, exponential complexity in
    apt-ftparchive Contents generation (LP: #2083697)
    - ftparchive: Mystrdup: Add safety check and bump buffer size
    - ftparchive: contents: Avoid exponential complexity and overflows
    - test framework: Improve valgrind support
    - test: Check that apt-ftparchive handles deep paths
    - increase valgrind cleanliness to make the tests pass
      - pkgcachegen: Use placement new to construct header
      - Workaround valgrind "invalid read" in ExtractTar::Go by moving large
        buffer from stack to heap. The large buffer triggered some bugs in
        valgrind stack clash protection handling.
