Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-29 13:36:16 UTC
Please remove the following ebuilds as they are vulnerable to GLSA 200710-14
( http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200710-14.xml ) :

=app-admin/denyhosts-2.6


Note that other (unstable) atoms might be missing from this list that are
vulnerable to the same GLSA. Please remove those as well.

There currently are only two atoms of denyhosts in the tree, 2.6 and 2.6-r1. The only difference between the two is that the latter has an additional keyword and the security patch. Also having been stable for over a year, I personally see no good reason why the vulnerable ebuild is still around.
