Comment 2 Peter Lemenkov 2026-03-24 15:42:30 UTC

Closing — EPEL 8 has reached end of life. Additionally, the primary consumer of libgsasl (msmtp) no longer requires it, as msmtp upstream has disabled libgsasl by default since the 1.8.x series.

Comment 3 Peter Lemenkov 2026-03-24 15:44:55 UTC

Reopening — EPEL 8 is NOT EOL. RHEL 8 (and therefore EPEL 8) runs until 2029-05-31. Apologies for the incorrect closure.

That said, the primary consumer of libgsasl (msmtp) no longer requires it — msmtp upstream disabled libgsasl by default since the 1.8.x series. This CVE remains valid but is low priority given the limited attack surface.
