Hi SRM,

libnsgif recently got two CVE's assigned, CVE-2015-7505 and
CVE-2015-7506. It turns out that there was exactly one NMU after the
initial release in 2009; furthermore the library is not used in Debian
(netsurf though has an embedded copy).

Can you please remove libnsgif in the next Jessie point release?

Regards,
Salvatore

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from stable:

  libnsgif |  0.0.1-1.1 | source
 libnsgif0 |  0.0.1-1.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libnsgif0-dbg |  0.0.1-1.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libnsgif0-dev |  0.0.1-1.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoST; unmaintained, security issues
----------------------------------------------

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.

Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using http://snapshot.debian.org/.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 808436@bugs.debian.org.
