Comment 6 Shlomi Fish 2015-05-13 16:51:56 CEST
OK, an update on my progress. The patches in the pull request do not apply cleanly against the version of abrt in our repository (And they seem to be against a non-released GitHub branch). Backporting them seems like a huge chore. I don't know what to do.
Comment 7 David Walser 2015-05-13 16:54:57 CEST
Yeah I thought that might be an issue.  Probably at least we'll have to wait for Fedora to issue some updates and see what they do.  We might end up just having to update it to a newer version(s).
Comment 8 Sander Lepik 2015-06-06 13:27:37 CEST
Any progress? It's on its 4th warning now..

Are there any new releases with the fixes? It would be hard to progress without them.
Comment 10 Sander Lepik 2015-06-06 14:15:53 CEST
Looking at Red Hat's bug report it doesn't seem that many changes to apply them manually.

A more important question. Are we even using this package or do we need it?

Unless there's time to drop it from Mageia 5 still (I don't think there is), that's not really a more important question.  If anyone is running this service they're vulnerable to trivial local privilege escalation, so we need to fix it.

There aren't yet, and I agree.  These issues are serious, but vetted fixes are not yet available AFAIK.
Comment 13 David Walser 2015-06-10 18:56:16 CEST
RedHat has issued an advisory for this on June 9:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-1083.html

Comment 14 David Walser 2015-06-11 23:28:02 CEST
Dropped from Cauldron before the Mageia 5 release.

Version: Cauldron => 4
Whiteboard: MGA5TOO, MGA4TOO => (none)

Comment 15 David Walser 2015-07-01 17:54:26 CEST
Fedora has issued an advisory for this for Fedora 21, their oldest supported version:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-June/161247.html
Comment 16 David Walser 2015-07-07 18:05:48 CEST
RedHat has issued an advisory for this today (July 7):
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-1210.html

As that's a slightly older 2.0 release of abrt than we have in Mageia 4, maybe the patches they used there would work for us.
Comment 17 David Walser 2015-09-02 17:38:17 CEST
With only a couple of weeks remaining in Mageia 4's lifetime, we don't have time to fix this and test it.  This package has been dropped and no longer exists in Mageia as of Mageia 5.  Closing this as OLD.

Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD
