[Duplication]
No duplication of that functionality in the Archive in general or main in
particular.
TBH there are other python REST frameworks, but none that seems integratable
for mailman3 the way falcon is.
[Embedded sources and static linking]
This package does not contain embedded library sources.
This package does not statically link to libraries.
No Go package
[Security]
I can confirm that there seems to be no CVE/Security history for this package.
It Does not:
- run a daemon as root
- uses old webkit
- uses lib*v8 directly
- open a port
- uses centralized online accounts
- integrates arbitrary javascript into the desktop
- deals with system authentication
But it does:
- processes arbitrary web (REST) content
- parse data formats
This is a helper (framework) to provide REST APIs in python which by nature are
processing external data.
Therefore a security review is recommended.
[Common blockers]
- builds fine at the moment
- server Team committed to subscribe once this gets promoted (enough for now)
- code is not user visible, no translation needed
- dh_python is used
- package produces python2 bits, but they are not pulled into main by mailman3
- utilizes build time self tests
[Packaging red flags]
- no current ubuntu Delta to evaluate
- no library with classic symbol tracking
- watch file is present
- Lintian warnings are present but ok
- debian/rules is rather clean
- no usage of Built-Using
- no golang package that would make things harder
[Upstream red flags]
- no suspicious errors during build (a few warnings, but nothing concerning)
- it is pure python, so no incautious use of malloc/sprintf
- no use of sudo, gksu
- no use of pkexec
- no use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- no important open bugs
- no Dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, libgoa-*
- no embedded copies in upstream either
[Summary]
Ack from the MIR-Teams POV, but as outlined above a security review is
recommended.
Assigning the security Team.
