[gentoo-dev] Last rites for net-im/kpopper

2006-02-23 Thread Stefan Cornelius
Hi all, kpopper was masked for half a year now because of insecure temporary file creation (see bug #94475 for details), now it's time to completely remove it from portage. If you have rejections, please speak up in a timely fashion or silently wave goodbye to the package. Thanks and have a nice

[gentoo-dev] net-misc/vnc: Needs a new maintainer, at least a revbump (Security bug)

2006-05-14 Thread Stefan Cornelius
Hi Folks, net-misc/vnc is vulnerable to an information leak that might lead to password disclosure (bug #133219). Unfortunately, the original maintainer aliz is at least semi-retired, thus we're looking for a new maintainer. So, if you've some love left for a lonely, homeless package like vnc,

2006-05-14 Thread Stefan Cornelius
Ikelos pointed out (thanks!), that only vnc 4.1.X is affected. Since we don't ship such a version, the security bug is invalid, but the maintainer problem remains. Sorry for any inconvenience, DerCorny -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-dev] net-www/awstats: security issues, revbump (and probably maintainer) needed

2006-05-29 Thread Stefan Cornelius
Hi Gang, net-www/awstats is masked because it has open security issues (including remote code execution), see bug #130487 for details. Version 6.6 was made to fix it, but unfortunately this version is not working at all (see bug #134296), so we are trapped between unusable and vulnerable

[gentoo-dev] Last rites/mask notification: dev-libs/libvc, app-misc/rolo and mail-client/mutt-vc-query

2006-06-02 Thread Stefan Cornelius
Hi Gentoo, dev-libs/libvc, app-misc/rolo and mail-client/mutt-vc-query were masked because of the open security bug #127757. It also seems like there was no upstream release for like 3 years, so this packages are pretty much dead. If nobody speaks up or volunteers as maintainer for that cruft,

[gentoo-dev] app-text/pstotext in danger of becoming security masked

2005-07-27 Thread Stefan Cornelius
app-text/pstotext has a serious remote vulnerability that allows to execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable system. It appears to be unmaintained at the moment. If anyone out there is able to take this on and patch it (honestly, patch is small), that would be much appreciated, the bug number
