Package: gimp-dcraw
Version: 1.32-1
Severity: serious
The gimp-dcraw plugin has not been updated for 13 years, with the
upstream completely gone. This would mean possible unaddressed security
flaws.
Compare this to gimp-ufraw, which is a more fully featured version of
gimp-dcraw. gimp-ufraw is removed in 2019 due to "upstream gone,
possible security issues" [1]. If gimp-ufraw should be considered
insecure (last updated 2015), gimp-dcraw should as well (last updated 2008).
Further, as Chris mentioned in bug #987443 [2], its functionality is
superseded by gimp native functionalities is no longer useful.
