SUSE has issued an advisory on August 14: https://lists.suse.com/pipermail/sle-security-updates/2020-August/007267.html The "solution" for the update was a patch to document the security issue, and they said the package should be dropped from future releases. We should do the same.

This SRPM has no consistent maintainer, so assigning this bug globally. CC'ing Shlomi for comment. P.S. In maintdb.txt, this is listed as 'perl-PlRPC' which looks like a typo - but is not! Sans-serif fonts make lower-case 'l' look like '|'.

following https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2013-7284, i think we can drop this package.

Agreed. perl-DBI-proxy requires this, so it needs to be fixed to not require it (if possible) or also dropped. Nothing requires perl-DBI-proxy.
Removed from cauldron.
