qemu (1:5.2+dfsg-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * deprecate qemu-debootstrap. It is not needed anymore with
    binfmt F flag, since everything now works without --foreign
    debootstrap argument and copying the right qemu binary into
    the chroot. Closes: #901197
  * fix the brown-paper bag bug: wrong argument order
    in the linux-user-binfmt patch (really closes: #970460)

qemu (1:5.2+dfsg-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/rules: ensure b/ subdir exists before building palcode and qboot
  * d/changelog: #959530 is not fixed by 5.2+dfsg-4
  * 3 virtiofsd patches Closes: #980814, CVE-2020-35517
    virtiofsd: potential privileged host device access from guest
    - virtiofsd-extract-lo_do_open-from-lo_open.patch
    - virtiofsd-optionally-return-inode-pointer-from-lo_do_lookup.patch
    - virtiofsd-prevent-opening-of-special-files-CVE-2020-35517.patch

qemu (1:5.2+dfsg-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Michael Tokarev ]
  * require libfdt >= 1.5.0-2 due to #931046
  * qemu-user: attempt to preserve argv[0] when run under binfmt
    (Closes: #970460)
    This changes the enterpreter name for all linux-user registered
    binfmts, so it potentially can break stuff.  The actual binary
    being registered now is /usr/libexec/qemu-binfmt/foo-binfmt-P,
    which is a symlink to actual /usr/lib/qemu-foo[-static].
  * ignore .git-submodule-status when building source
  * some security fixes from upstream:
    o arm_gic-fix-interrupt-ID-in-GICD_SGIR-CVE-2021-20221.patch
      Closes: CVE-2021-20221
      GIC (armv7): out-of-bound heap buffer access via an interrupt ID field
    o 9pfs-Fully-restart-unreclaim-loop-CVE-2021-20181.patch
      Closes: CVE-2021-20181
  * non-security fixes from upstream:
    pc-bios-descriptors-fix-paths-in-json-files.patch - fixes wrong paths
    in edk2-firmware-related json files introduced in 5.2

  [ Christian Ehrhardt ]
  * d/control-in: avoid version mismatch of installed binaries
    (Closes: #956377)
