Triage Report for 2021-12-16 to 2022-01-0

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hello everyone - wishing you and all bugs a happy 2022!

This is a special edition of our bug triage rotation due to the
Christmas/NewYear shutdown phase. I looked at all the recent issues,
which after excluding duplicates, there were 59 to look at. In
addition as one would expect in such a downtime phase we had a longer
list of 13 expired and 5 long term expired bugs. I retriaged each of
them.

Even in a phase like now the majority were EOY bug status updates by the team
closing bugs and uploading fixes as well as our recent efforts to re-triage old
bugs. Most bugs I checked are resolved or assigned and will be worked on as
the team starts again this week.

A few cases needed some bug state update or a helping hand to reach the next
step, but most were non-complex.

Left as "worth to mention" for another look/discussion are:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/1915238
"warning: /var/spool/postfix/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt differ"
This continued from Parides great analysis and now has a fix in Debian.
Soon to be uploaded and synced from there, then we can consider SRUing
the change. I tagged it server-todo to track and resolve that.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1928954
"sssd not using offline credentials even no network available"
This accidentally auto-expired and might be worth another look.
OTOH to be honest the final paragraph of comment #6 might be the answer,
but maybe that delay can be configured?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1939678
"Apache2 Balancer Manager not working after dist-upgrade to focal
behind a Proxy"
No update on the upstream case yet, but a rather brute-force hint. This isn't a
solution but might help identify the root issue.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virglrenderer/+bug/1950941
Integer underflow in the vrend_decode_set_shader_buffers() on virglrenderer"
This is currently waiting for security, but the patch is trivial and I wonder
if we should prep this for them to just upload it (patch on a plate).

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-8.0/+bug/1954306
"Action `remove-instance` works but appears to fail"
This might be worth a look for a repro and submitting it as an upstream case.
Subscribed the team and Lars to have a look.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/1956166
"Ubuntu 22.04 doesn't boot with xen"
While this is only in universe and community doesn't care much I wonder if
it is time to avoid being stuck on 4.11 and drop as much no more needed delta
as possible to sync or trivial-merge this. Universe or not, that seems better
than being stuck with a super old version for the upcoming jammy release.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/containerd/+bug/1955413
"containerd 1.5.8 in bionic/focal"
A request to update containerd to 1.5.8 for another set of CVEs, partially
fixed by security already. But still probably time for another MRE update.
