This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As this is a security big we are moving this bug to the currently latest supported release. Please check whether this bug is still applicable.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25.

This bug has been reported against a Fedora version which is already unsuported. In compliance with FESCo decision how to handle EOL of Security issues [1], I am changing the version to '27', the latest supported release. Please check whether this bug is still an issue on the '27' release. If you find this bug not being applicable on this release, please close it. [1] https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1736
Richard, you just wontfixed a pile of security bugs against various mingw-* components without providing any comment to explain the wontfix. Can you please add some information to clarify why that was made? If mingw-* packages are no longer unsupported in Fedora, they should be removed.
I was assigned NEEDINFO on something like 100 bugs. I simply don't have the time to volunteer to manually checking 100 packages against 2 year old CVEs. Fedora tries a best effort to provide security updates, but if people depend on them they should either pay for a distro like RHEL or put in the work themselves. This does NOT mean the packages are unmaintained, they are actively maintained and updated by the mingw team.
I get it that some or even many of the bugs were fixed in the meantime via rebases, but not all were. E.g. one of the CVEs here is rated as Important, almost 2 years old, and fixed upstream in 1.0.2i. Fedora still has 1.0.2h. I fear that closing this hides there is outstanding issue, and will delay fixing even in Rawhide / next release, even if there's no capacity to patch released versions for all flaws.
I'm going to have to ask Kalev about this, but unfortunately he's off until the middle of the month. I don't want to upgrade the package independently because AIUI openssl had an ABI change. Reopening and setting NEEDINFO.
Upgrades from one 1.0.2 version to another 1.0.2 version are expected to be ok, while upgrade to 1.1.0 is known to be both ABI and API breaking.
I am back now. I haven't done much mingw related work lately and don't know what would break with updating to 1.1.0. Maybe it'd be safer to just update to latest 1.0.2i if we don't have the capacity to do an update to 1.1.0 right now?
You should assume that update from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0 is going to require rebuild of all packages using openssl. It may further cause problem if some applications have not been ported to openssl 1.1.0 yet. For updates to released Fedora versions, you should go for newer 1.0.2 and not 1.1.0.

This is now on 1.1.0h, so I guess this bug must be fixed and we can close the bug?
For a bit more context to the comment 14 above - 1.1.0h is in upcoming F30. Currently released and supported F28 and F29 still have unfixed 1.0.2h.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
