Comment 1 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-05-07 23:02:51 UTC
@maintainer(s), please bump.

Description:
"After a certificate error was overridden by the user, qutebrowser displays the URL as yellow (colors.statusbar.url.warn.fg). However, when the affected website was subsequently loaded again, the URL was mistakenly displayed as green (colors.statusbar.url.success_https). While the user already has seen a certificate error prompt at this point (or set content.ssl_strict to false which is not recommended), this could still provide a false sense of security."

Hello,
I am in process of bumping to 1.11.1 which fix the CVE according to the security page.
I think I need to drop or mask the older version right ?

Yep, a bump to 1.11.1 is needed.

After that (include the Bug: tag in your commit so we see it, but not Closes:), we'll ask you to cleanup (drop older versions), but given this is not a stable package, you are welcome to immediately cleanup in the same PR.

Don't bother with a mask unless there is some specific reason that a package depends on it.
