Package: zutils
Version: 1.11-5, 1.12~pre2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.1

Hi!
This package has a massive size, as it's pointlessly statically built.
Not only this violates a "must" requirement of the Policy, it also does
so for no benefit at all: in the case libraries it's linked with would
be subverted/corrupted, both the compressor and the actual tool invoked
won't be able to run anyway.

On the other hand, any security hole in any library the program links with
potentially requires a recompile.  Even glibc itself receives several CVEs
per year; they are in functions you almost surely don't use but the binary
doesn't provide this information anymore -- requiring the Security Team
to analyze what is going on.

That's why the Policy hates this seemingly minor issue so much.


Meow!
