It's definitely worthwhile to submit bugs. Fedora has a guide that mostly works for this, but you'll need to change the product field from "Fedora" to "Fedora EPEL" and select the appropriate version. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bugzilla-file-a-bug/ Nothing special happened to EPEL 9 packages with the release of RHEL 9.7. EPEL generally has a focus on stable packages with minimal changes (i.e. security and bug fixes), but larger changes can be appropriate if they're backwards compatible. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy/#_digest https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy-updates/ > > I get the following error: > > Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. > 0x00007ffff7f05d79 in LST_HEAD::dequeue (this=0x312e32) > at /usr/src/debug/dcmtk-3.6.6-12.el9.x86_64/dcmnet/libsrc/lst.cc:43 > 43 if (theList.size() == 0) return NULL; > > My current workaround is to simply build the EPEL10 version from source and > compile it for EPEL9: Based on that it sounds like 3.6.7 included the fix for this. Using that info and searching a bit, I tracked down an Ubuntu bug that indicates the initial fix for CVE-2021-41687 introduced a regression. This was fixed in 3.6.7, and can be backported as a patch to the EPEL 9 package. It will probably need to be backported to EPEL 8 as well. https://github.com/DCMTK/dcmtk/commit/32ae3e5137e5a52f61a8dc9186f2539226794217 I've submitted this as a pull request to the EPEL 9 package. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dcmtk/pull-request/11 Can you download the RPM from the scratch build and verify it fixes the issue for you? https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/work/tasks/4326/140784326/dcmtk-3.6.6-13.el9.x86_64.rpm > > wget > https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/dcmtk/3.6.7/8.el10_0/src/dcmtk-3.6.7-8.el10_0.src.rpm > rpm -ivh dcmtk-3.6.7-8.el10_0.src.rpm > rpmbuild -ba SPECS/dcmtk.spec > > Also, is there a way to participate in testing backports before they get into > EPEL? > > Many thanks, > and merry christmas > -- > _______________________________________________ > epel-devel mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] > Do not reply to spam, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- Carl George -- _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
