Spec URL: http://qulogic.fedorapeople.org//R-httpuv.spec SRPM URL: http://qulogic.fedorapeople.org//R-httpuv-1.3.5-1.fc26.src.rpm Description: Provides low-level socket and protocol support for handling HTTP and WebSocket requests directly from within R. It is primarily intended as a building block for other packages, rather than making it particularly easy to create complete web applications using httpuv alone. httpuv is built on top of the libuv and http-parser C libraries, both of which were developed by Joyent, Inc.
This package built on koji: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=23010734
There's a RPMlint error, I'm not sure what it means: R-httpuv.x86_64: E: missing-call-to-setgroups-before-setuid /usr/lib64/R/library/httpuv/libs/httpuv.so missing-call-to-setgroups-before-setuid: This executable is calling setuid and setgid without setgroups or initgroups. There is a high probability this means it didn't relinquish all groups, and this would be a potential security issue to be fixed. Seek POS36-C on the web for details about the problem.
I know what the problem is; it's because they're bundling an ancient version of libuv. There's a patch here [1] and it was even the subject of a CVE [2]. I hope no-one's trying to run R setuid in the first place, but I'll apply that patch to fix it. Fortunately, they've already bumped the version that's bundled in git and I'm going to try and convince them to allow building against a system copy so I won't have to worry about this anymore.

It would be best indeed to use system libuv to avoid such security issues. Package with the patch is accepted.
