Debian 9896 Published by

The following updates has been released for Debian:

[DLA 372-1] virtualbox-ose 3.2.x is no longer supported in Debian 6
[DSA 3427-1] blueman security update
[DSA 3428-1] tomcat8 security update



[DLA 372-1] virtualbox-ose 3.2.x is no longer supported in Debian 6

Package : virtualbox-ose

Oracle stopped supporting version 3.2 of VirtualBox last June. They also
do not disclose enough information about vulnerabilities discovered
and fixed in newer versions so that it is impossible for us to
verify whether the vulnerability also applies to 3.2 and to backport
the fix when needed.

We are thus no longer supporting virtualbox-ose in Debian 6 Squeeze.
If you rely on it, you should either consider using backports of newer
versions (version 4.1.42 is available in squeeze-backports) or
upgrade to Debian 7 Wheezy (or newer).
