Maintainer(s): Ping. Looks like the only vulnerable version in the tree is 340.108 based on [1]. Do we need to keep it? If so, maybe it needs to be masked?

Looks like the only last vulnerable versions we had on the 384 branch were removed in b40400b5ec0252bee0915be28ba1b294de479972 in September of 2017:

And the same for the 375 branch ebuilds, cleaned up January 2019:

Tree clean, too old for GLSA.
