Package: denyhosts Version: 2.6-10 Severity: serious Tags: jessie sid security
Dear Maintainer, We, the Debian security team, believe that denyhosts should not be released with Debian jessie and further releases for the following reasons: * There are unaddressed security issues (e.g. #692229). * The tool is dead upstream (last release 2008). * There is a viable alternative, fail2ban, that provides the same or increased feature set. For these reasons we deem denyhosts unsupportable during the jessie release cycle. If you agree with this reasoning, please send the following commands to the control interface of the bug tracking system to remove the package from Debian sid as well: retitle -1 RM: denyhosts -- RoM severity -1 normal reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
