Details
Description:
Arch currently builds gdk-pixbuf2 with jasper support enabled. Unfortunately, jasper is currently unmaintened upstream and it is unlikely that this will change [1]. There are numerous open CVEs that are unlikely to be fixed. For this reason, gdk-pixbuf2 upstream recommends that it be build without jasper enabled, as is the default [2]. Lots of other distros have already dropped jasper altogether (Debian, Ubuntu, NixOS, Alpine, OpenSUSE) and I think Arch should do so as well [1],[3]. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any [1] https://github.com/mdadams/jasper/issues/208 [2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/issues/137 [3] https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1130404 Steps to reproduce: |
