Comment 2 Scott Talbert 2018-05-31 22:15:30 UTC

As I read the vulnerability description (https://nodesecurity.io/advisories/271),  this vulnerability is about the node.js poco package that is hosted here:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/poco
and NOT about the original poco source distribution at pocoproject.org.

If you examine the node.js package, it contains an install.sh which has the following content:

#!/bin/bash

wget http://pocoproject.org/releases/poco-1.5.4/poco-1.5.4-all.tar.bz2
tar xfvj poco-1.5.4-all.tar.bz2
pushd poco-1.5.4-all
./configure
make -j4
mv lib/**/lib* ..

exit 0

I believe the vulnerability refers to the use of http vice https in the script above.

Thus, Fedora is not affected by this vulnerability.  Closing as NOTABUG.
