the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
The version of LibRaw included with RHEL 7 (0.14.8-5) is out of date. It contains multiple critical vulnerabilities:
CVE-2017-14608CVE-2017-14265CVE-2017-13735CVE-2017-6887CVE-2017-6886CVE-2017-6889
Refer to the NIST NVD for more information about the flaws.
Upstream source from libraw.org is available, but it appears neither has the newer source been built nor patches backported.
Here is the last entry from the LibRaw package from RHEL 7:
* Fri Jan 24 2014 Daniel Mach <dmach> - 0.14.8-5.20120830git98d925
- Mass rebuild 2014-01-24
Let's go ahead. My understanding is that EPEL packages can be expected to be rebuilt against the new soname. I think I recently saw an email fly by to that effect, but I can't find it at the moment. If there are issues with customers relying on the earlier soname, then I am happy to provide a compatibility package.

> Should we maybe rebase LibRaw to 0.18.11 as part of the 7.6 desktop rebase?
The current supported series is 0.19.x, so we should rebase to that now. That's also what we have in RHEL 8.
