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>
|
|------------------- Reason -------------------
|
|----------------------------------------------
|
|Checking reverse dependencies...
|No dependency problem found.

Regards,
Salvatore

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

libnet-easytcp-perl |     0.26-6 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; unmaintained upstream; 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was superseded by another one.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 https://snapshot.debian.org/.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1093386@bugs.debian.org.
