Distro
- investigating armhf issues with @mkukri : it turns out that it was caused by -fstack-clash-protection which readiness on armhf is still being debated; this has been enabled through dpkg buildflags
- MR: Merge into ubuntu/devel : ubuntu/devel : lp:~adrien-n/ubuntu/+source/dpkg : Git : Code : dpkg package : Ubuntu (yet to hit the archive)
- affected packages for sure: libxml2, libarchive, gnutls
Armhf 64-bit time_t analysis
- Updated and merged several older changes
- Store results and quirks in sqlite to enable easier richer exploitation
