Description

FWIW I incorporated the Debian patches for the three 2024 CVEs identified and addressed by the Cisco Talos team into my fork of catdoc at https://github.com/skierpage/catdoc, in addition to years of patches that Debian's maintainer has carried, in particular a fix for high-priority Red Hat bug 2150140. I also introduced CI that runs a basic `make check` test suite and produces source and dist tar files, and made various other fixes. So if Fedora wants these CVEs and others addressed, just change catdoc-spec to point to my repo. I brought this up on #rpm IRC back in 2023 and user @rsc was dubious about switching to some random dog on the Internet. But since the current upstream is utterly dead (no commits since 2016, broken bug tracker, maintainer Victor Wagner unresponsive) and my repo is essentially the same source code that Debian's patched catdoc produces, I don't see how it can be worse than the current situation for Fedora to use my fork as upstream. I'm around and eager to help! I can tag a v0.97 whenever it's convenient for Fedora. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '42'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Fedora Linux 42 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2026-05-27. Fedora Linux 42 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
