Dear SRM,
This is the corresponding removal request for libnet-easytcp-perl from
stable, relating to #1093385 for unstable and testing.
libnet-easytcp-perl has security issues (CVE-2024-56830, note not the
same as CVE-2002-20002) where it fallsback to Perl's builtin rand() if
no strong randomization module is present, and Crypt::Random is not
packaged and used.
Furthermore is upstream basically unmaintained, the last version was
0.26 from 2004.
Additionally it has low popcon, so I think it is affordable for
removal.
It can be removed from stable:
|$ dak rm --suite=bookworm -n -R libnet-easytcp-perl
|Will remove the following packages from bookworm:
|
|libnet-easytcp-perl | 0.26-6 | source, all
|
|Maintainer: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
