Hi,

why is the urgency in the changelog just "medium" when the bug has a severity of "grave"?
Shouldn't that be enough for high?

And thanks for the quick reaction/fix, good job!

Best regards,
Darkman

The changelog severities don't mean anything in Ubuntu.

Ubuntu's CVEs aren't tracked by severity, those are our internal priority for fixing them.

All security bugs in Debian have a severity of "grave".
