Comment 1 Dr. Tilmann Bubeck 2026-02-12 06:20:21 UTC 
According to https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-37178 this only affects KeePass <= 2.44. Therefore I would assume, that this bug does not apply to our packages, as all branches have much newer versions. Close and do nothing?
Comment 2 Julian Sikorski 2026-02-12 09:18:51 UTC 
I would say so. To be honest, I do not get what the point of posting a CVE for A six years and sixteen versions old release of particular software is.
Comment 3 Dr. Tilmann Bubeck 2026-02-12 10:26:06 UTC 
Closed for all EPEL bugs with text: 
As this CVE is 6 years old and applies only to version 2.44 and before, I do not see the relevance of this bug entry. We have version 2.57 (and newer) in EPEL/Fedora and therefore this problem has been fixed long time ago.
Closing.
