Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2026-04-01 09:58:48 UTC
This issue affects perl-Sereal-Decoder 4.x versions prior to version 4.010 (see Bug #2453333).

EPEL-8 has version 4.018
EPEL-9 has version 4.018
EPEL-10.* has version 5.004

Hence, no current EPEL release is affected by this issue.

Comment 2 Michal Josef Spacek 2026-04-01 10:45:45 UTC
We are unbundling the Zstandard library (and other) in Fedora and EPEL.

So, this kind of reports about issue in bundling is a bit weird.

Figuring that out requires looking in a little depth at how the package is built, and is not the upstream default way of doing things, so it's understandable.

I also look after libssh2 and get bugs raised on that whenever libssh (a completely different codebase) has a security issue, so I don't think anyone's looking at things in any detail at all.
