@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-06-06 13:35:01 UTC
All reported vulnerabilities are fixed in v2.0.0 which is now available in the repository (https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=b7d7cf44be09d4e31261c8adfdcced02a73d8585).

This package has currently no maintainer so we will wait until 2017-06-09 before starting stabilization.

no maintainer in this case should probably also consider lastriting, or one of the reverse dependencies should pick it up. In particular since it is likely difficult to test for non-specific use.

All of the reverse deps where its not a USE flag are also lacking maintainer, so in favor of removal, inter alia, app-pda/ideviceinstaller, app-pda/libimobiledevice, app-pda/ifuse, app-pda/libusbmuxd, media-libs/libgpod, app-pda/usbmuxd, media-libs/libgpod 

https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/app-pda/libplist

This seems like a candidate for lastriting (including all rdeps)

Until someone does the work to remove this package if necessary (considering there's revdeps of revdeps), let's just stabilise the new version so we can clean up old.

Cleanup done.
Comment 9 Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-07-15 21:53:01 UTC
Downgraded to B3.  No PoC for RCE/ACE which is also shown in the reported CVE's.
