Bug ID: 1157810 Summary: Net::Server 0.97 badly out of date Product: Fedora EPEL Version: el6 Component: perl-Net-Server Severity: medium Assignee: lkundrak@v3.sk Reporter: cstith@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: kevin@scrye.com, lkundrak@v3.sk, perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
Description of problem: The upstream version of Net::Server provided by the perl-Net-Server RPM in epel-release-6-8.1.noarch is 0.97 while both epel-release-5-4.4.cip and epel-release-7-2.noarch offer Net::Server 2.007 which is roughly 5.5 years newer.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): epel-release-6-8.1 perl-Net-Server-0.97-7.el6
How reproducible: 100%
Steps to Reproduce: 1. install perl-Net-Server from EPEL
Actual results: a Perl module distribution from 2007 is installed
Expected results: a fairly recent version of the same Perl module distribution should be installed
Additional info: There is a CVE and associated EPEL bugs against 0.97 (which I'm not entirely sure are addressed by the upstream upgrade). See open issues Bug 920685 and Bug 920683 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=920685 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=920683).
