The developer team is discussing the removal of Midori from Debian repositories.

Jeremy Bicha says:

> The final stable release of Midori still uses the unmaintained WebKit1
> instead of webkit2gtk and therefore the browser suffers from numerous
> known security vulnerabilities. Midori now fails to build with vala
> 0.36 which is in Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha and will be in Debian unstable
> once it clears the Debian new queue.

pam_unix2 was removed from Debian Jessie because it’s buggy and unmaintained [0]

It’s included inside pam package and should be removed since it doesn’t comes from official source. Also the original upstream FTP directory (ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/kukuk/pam/pam_unix2) has disappeared.

Arch just patched: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/wpa_supplicant/

Please replace by avideo, preferably by a release which receives updates so that it can still function within kodi (the non-LTS version).

Replace by LTS version of avideo to follow Hyperbola Packaging Guidelines.

Please move dillo to blacklist. Please enable IPv6, SSL/TLS and threaded DNS support.

1- Arch PKGBUILD problems:

 a- not obtain source via https
 b- not compiled with support --enable-ipv6 --enable-threaded-dns --enable-ssl 

My correction is committed in NAB-packages-community

Abiword supports the defunct AltaVista’s Babel Fish translator which queries are redirected to the main Yahoo! page.

Libreoffice contains Google API keys which affects privacy.

The aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers from [community] is compiled using the blobbed Linux kernel sources[0], and in Parabola it has been replaced with aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-libre-api-headers[1].
This issue is exactly the same as linux-api-headers, so it should be blacklisted and replaced using the Linux-libre source.

The aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers package from [community] compiles using the blobbed Linux kernel source[0], at Parabola it has been replaced with aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-libre-api-headers[1], since this issue is exactly the same as with linux-api-headers.

The solution is to simply compile using Linux-libre sources.

Multiple CVEs. Unprivileged programs can gain access to a hardware bug in the CPU, and thereby initiate memory dumps and other low-level attacks.

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.
