Subject: Unresponsive maintainer: petersen / Pandoc package not updated
since June 2023: Security vulnerability, CVE-2023-35936 (medium)
To: Development discussions related to Fedora <devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I cannot reach the maintainer petersen (see mail below): The package
"pandoc" remains at 3.1.3 in Fedora, but pandoc is already at 3.1.11.1.
Among the updates since 3.1.3, there have been two security-critical
(including the medium CVE-2023-35936. Security fixes are in 3.1.4 & 3.1.6).

The actual risk is limited, but these should be updated nevertheless.

Does anyone know how to reach him by other means?

Regards,
Chris

Hi petersen,

I am reaching out because of the package "pandoc", which you maintain.

I have seen that the package is still at version 3.1.3 [1] when I tried to
install it with dnf, whereas the current version is 3.1.11.1 [2]: is this
intended or an accident?

It has to be noted that the updates that have been added in the meantime
contain fixes for security vulnerabilities (at least CVE-2023-35936; I have
just roughly skimmed the changelogs). So at the moment, it seems the Fedora
build can be exploited by attackers in some circumstances [3] [4] because
it is still at 3.1.3.

Regards & thanks for maintaining,

Chris
