I was assigned 15 hours of work by Freexian's Debian LTS initiative and carried over 5 hours. I worked all 20 hours.
I spent most of my time working - together with other Linux kernel developers - on backporting and testing several versions of the fix for CVE-2017-1000364, part of the "Stack Clash" problem. I uploaded two updates to linux and issued DLA-993-1 and DLA-993-2. Unfortunately the latest version still causes regressions for some applications, which I will be investigating this month.
I also released a stable update on the Linux 3.2 longterm stable branch (3.2.89) and prepared another (3.2.90) which I released today.

I prepared a security update for sudo and issued DLA-970-1. I backported several security fixes for the Linux kernel, but have not yet uploaded a new version. I also continued catching up with the backlog of fixes for the Linux 3.2 longterm stable branch.
