Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-05-21 16:58:56 UTC
sys-libs/lib-compat-loki ships glibc version 2.2.5 from 2002, so it can be expected to suffer from many of these vulnerabilities:

CC'ing tree cleaners.

* These packages depend on sys-libs/lib-compat-loki:
games-strategy/heroes3-1.3.1a-r2 (!ppc ? sys-libs/lib-compat-loki)
games-strategy/heroes3-demo-1.3.1a (>=sys-libs/lib-compat-loki-0.2)
games-strategy/smac-6.0a (!ppc ? sys-libs/lib-compat-loki)

We are CCed here, but I am not sure if we want to keep all this in the tree (even hardmasked) or not:
# Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org> (15 Jul 2014)
# Permanently mask sys-libs/lib-compat and its reverse dependencies,
# pending multiple security vulnerabilities and QA issues.
# See bugs #515926 and #510960.
sys-libs/lib-compat
sys-libs/lib-compat-loki
games-action/mutantstorm-demo
games-action/phobiaii
games-fps/rtcw
games-fps/unreal
games-strategy/heroes3

games-strategy/smac

Can maintainers please give a hint? :/

When it comes to games, I hope that we can just keep them hard masked to allow the user to make their own judgement. At some point I will double check whether this really is required for Unreal and friends. RTCW should really be replaced with iortcw, built from source. I don't know about the others.

OK, then CC us back if you want to clean something ;)

See you!
