Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-04-25 03:52:07 UTC
CVE-2021-26291:

Apache Maven may follow repositories that are defined in a
dependency’s Project Object Model (pom) which may be surprising to
some users, resulting in potential risk if a malicious actor takes
over that repository or is able to insert themselves into a position
to pretend to be that repository. Maven is changing the default
behavior to no longer follow http (non-SSL) repository references by
default in version 3.8.1


Maintainers, please bump.

If possible, please do! Though if upstream is keeping versions with known security issues I wonder if they should be nagged about it or if there are backported patches that I've not noticed.

We'll also need to stable the new version before cleanup can happen, it seems?

i removed most of the versions except the last stable. we can now proceed with stabilization of the unaffected version, once stabilized i'll remove the last affected.
