Description Pascal Ernster 2017-11-29 13:57:51 UTC
All Fedora releases from 25 up to Rawhide ship dokuwiki 20150810a, which contains a bunch of security vulnerabilites:

https://www.dokuwiki.org/changes

https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/dokuwiki.git/log/


There's also been a bunch of (automated) bugs about some of there vulnerabilites, but it seems those have been ignored, and the package is actually unmaintained / de facto orphaned:

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2018-02-20 15:33:11 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.

Comment 2 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2018-08-26 20:18:36 UTC
The package was updated to latest upstream version (2018-04-22a) and built for Rawhide and F29:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1139333
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1139334

Successful builds have also been done for F28 and F27:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1139337
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1139339
I'm wondering whether these should be pushed as updates, or not. On one hand, there's the risk of breaking changes, on the other - the package has security flaws, so not updating it leaves its users vulnerable to potential attacks.
