Comment 2 Peter Robinson 2018-07-03 10:31:55 UTC

Currently EPEL-7 has xapian 1.2.2 which according to the upstream report is not vulnerable. To quote:
"Vulnerable versions: xapian-core 1.4.5 and earlier (back to when this feature was added in development release 1.3.5; 1.2.x doesn't have this method, so isn't vulnerable)."

https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/SecurityFixes/2018-07-02

EPEL-6 never had any build of xapian pushed.
