https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217844 Bug ID: 217844 Summary: devel/gvfs Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: gnome@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jt@ixsystems.com Assignee: gnome@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(gnome@FreeBSD.org) Due to the wikileaks dump of Vault7, we know there is a 0-day against HALd. Since HALd is mostly unused on the linux side, its very unlikely that it will get patched since most distros are using systemd now. gvfs can build without HAL support. I ran gvfs-lite on linux for quite a while back in the days that I was a linux distro dev. Should we disable hal in gvfs for this reason? I realize that some programs that rely on gvfs with hal will loose some functionality, so it comes down to the issue of what's more important. Security or Features. I personally side with security, but this isn't my port, so it's not my choice to decide. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
