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”.

Description:

• In VideoLAN VLC media player through 2.2.8, there is a type conversion vulnerability in modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c in the MP4 demux module leading to a invalid free, because the type of a box may be changed between a read operation and a free operation.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

• 2.2.6-1.hyperbola1

* config and/or log files etc.

• None

Steps to reproduce:

• Run VLC

Description:

• VideoLAN VLC media player 2.2.x is prone to a use after free vulnerability which an attacker can leverage to execute arbitrary code via crafted MKV files. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial of service conditions.

Additional info:

• 2.2.6-1.hyperbola1

* config and/or log files etc.
