package: t1lib
version: 5.1.2-3
severity: grave
tag: security
Hi, the t1lib package currently has a significant set of security
vulnerabilities [0]. There hasn't been an upstream release in over 3
years, so it seems unmaintained, and thus the issues are unlikely to
be fixed. Some tools such as xpdf have simply dropped support for
t1lib because of this [1]. I've submitted another bug to the release
team recommending removal of the package [2]. Of course if the issues
are somehow fixed, the package can stay.
Best wishes,
Mike
