I fail to see why this pops up now when a .keyring was changed. Did somebody verify how those .keyring files where created in the first place? As long as we don't have an automated way to trust keyring files, we have zero security gained. Others have state that the keyring files shouldn't be part of the package they're supposed to validate. Maybe only a very small set of trusted users would be allowed to change that. We only need a package with openSUSE's blessed keyring and require that for gpg-offline verification during build. Put that package into Base:System or openSUSE:Tools or wherever it's save enough and have the security team be the only maintainers. As a Factory reviewer, you would normally trust SUSE's security team and wave through changes to the keyring package. Net result, one less review task that was spoiled since it's inception anyway. CC'ed the sec guys therefore... > I did not yet have time to actually do the KR validation.. but from a > .changes entry, I think it's just right. As said, I can certainly live with mentioning it. Maybe it's even a good idea. It's just not helping anybody ATM. -- Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)

This is an add-on package that would allow users to upload files through a web server. Although the bug sounds bad, I can't imagine that any of our sites are running this; I checked a few and I can't find it even installed anywhere. It can wait for the next scheduled patching.
