Source: mimetex
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: sidremove
Dear maintainer,
I suggest removing mimetex from Debian for the following reasons:
* It accumulated one RC-bug:
+ #1103801: CVE-2024-40446: code injection vulnerability
Last modified: 1 year, 10 days
* It is not part of trixie or forky and is not a key package.
This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.
In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluate each of the
RC-bugs listed above.
* If the bug is meant to permanently prevent the package from entering testing
or a stable release, but this package should stay part of unstable, please
add a usertag:
user [email protected]
usertags NNN + sidremove-ignore
* If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.
* Is the bug really release-critical? If not, please downgrade.
* If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year.
Once all of the mentioned RC bugs have been acted upon in one way or another,
please close this bug.
In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: mimetex -- RoM; rc-buggy
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:mimetex
Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.
In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.
Control: tags -1 + wontfix
Doing so will also prevent automatic reassignment.
Kind regards

Yes, doing so. Thank you (both) for your working on getting mimetex into
sensible shape. Indeed, just replying to the issue would have been good
reason to just close the removal suggestion.
Helmut
