Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 23:11:28 UTC
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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.

Comment 3 Jan Kurik 2017-08-08 11:30:00 UTC
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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:14:05 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.

Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2018-05-31 07:37:57 UTC
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.

Comment 6 Tomas Hoger 2018-05-31 13:34:29 UTC
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.

Comment 7 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-05-31 13:42:47 UTC
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.

Comment 8 Tomas Hoger 2018-05-31 15:01:18 UTC
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.

Comment 9 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-06-01 09:55:29 UTC
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.

Comment 10 Tomas Hoger 2018-06-04 21:07:18 UTC
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.

Comment 11 Kalev Lember 2018-06-18 16:39:35 UTC
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?

Comment 12 Tomas Hoger 2018-06-18 19:37:24 UTC
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.

Comment 13 Ben Cotton 2018-11-27 15:09:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. 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 '27'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you

to a later Fedora version.

Comment 14 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-03-07 13:02:33 UTC
This is now on 1.1.0h, so I guess this bug must be fixed and we can
close the bug?

Comment 15 Tomas Hoger 2019-03-08 20:24:00 UTC
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.

Comment 16 Ben Cotton 2019-10-31 19:50:00 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.

Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 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.

Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
