Libreoffice contains Google API keys which affects privacy.

LibreSSL is a version of the TLS/crypto stack forked from OpenSSL in 2014, with goals of modernizing the codebase, improving security, and applying best practice development processes.

It was forked from the OpenSSL in April 2014 as a response by OpenBSD developers to the Heartbleed security vulnerability in OpenSSL, [4] [5] [6] [7] with the aim of refactoring the OpenSSL code so as to provide a more secure implementation. [8]

As LibreSSL follow the same goals than Hyperbola Packaging Guidelines in stability and security concerns, it should be the default provider of SSL and TLS protocols for Hyperbola Project.

Avahi is a zero-configuration networking implementation that contains critical security issues because mDNS operates under a different trust model than unicast DNS trusting the entire network rather than a designated DNS server, it is vulnerable to spoofing attacks by any system within the multicast IP range. Like SNMP and many other network management protocols, it can also be used by attackers to quickly gain detailed knowledge of the network and its machines. [0]

Since it violates the Hyperbola Social Contract , Avahi should be blacklisted.

Geth 1.6.x contains possible denial of service attacks “DoS Attack”, however it has been solved in 1.7.2 [0] instead. Since 1.6.x needs many modifications spread across multiple files of the code and it is inefficient to be backported, the newer version (eg. 1.7.x) could replace the current version package as exception, but repackaged with the appropriate suffix “-backports”.

Warsow contains a library called steamlib which is built from the source. It’s useful only for Steam support which is nonfree software.

The CGManager project has been deprecated in favor of using the kernel’s CGroup Namespace or lxcfs’ simulated cgroupfs.

See https://s3hh.wordpress.com/2016/06/18/whither-cgmanager/ for details.

pm-utils is no longer maintained from a long time . Therefore, it should be removed from repos since Hyperbola contains an amendment about anti-abandonware through its packaging guidelines .

The unfortunate reality is that x86 computers come encumbered with built-in low-level backdoors like the Intel Management Engine , as well as nonfree boot firmware. This means that users can’t gain full control over their computers, even if they install a free operating system such as Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

Hyperbola is working hard to fix these issues and getting closer every day, but for the time being, this is why many current Respects Your Freedom (RYF) offerings are refurbished older devices.

For the future of free computing, we need support architectures that do not come with such malware pre-installed, and the Power9-based Talos II promises to be a great architecture example for workstations and servers environments where Hyperbola is focused since is a fully free long-term support distribution.

Devices like this are the future of computing that Respects Your Freedom and for that reason it’s a high priority for Hyperbola port all packages for the POWER architecture (power64le).

NOTE: POWER porting is focused only for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

Description:

• Arch distributes a version of man-pages with manual pages from the POSIX standard. The man-pages project is permitted to distribute them and Andries Brouwer assumes that re-distribution by vendors is permitted as well. However, modification is definitively not allowed, hence this contribution by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and The Open Group render the entire man-pages package nonfree. The way to solve it is remove all nonfree POSIX manual pages from man-pages package.
