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that are no longer maintained.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
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 27 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.

Mikolaj, can you check to see if this still matters?

Comment 5 Mikolaj Izdebski 2020-11-12 13:47:35 UTC
It looks like Scala is still afected by this issue. The vulnerability has moderate severity, so I'm not going to fix it myself - I'll leave this up to the primary maintainer to fix.

Comment 6 Neal Gompa 2020-11-12 15:38:58 UTC
Will Benton does not work at Red Hat anymore...

Comment 7 Jerry James 2021-06-03 15:25:38 UTC
Since Fedora 32 reached EOL, there are no affected scala packages in Fedora anymore; i.e., the versions in F33+ are not affected by this bug.  Can we close this?

Comment 8 Mikolaj Izdebski 2021-06-05 08:43:38 UTC
Fedora 34+ were not affected.
Fedora 33 was fixed with erratum https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-b37ee1fa78
Fedora 32 is EOL.
Closing the issue as resolved.
