As with any other app, we flagged Fennec and Mull with KnownVuln until the app is updated. Contributors fixed the issues that delayed versions 130 and later. Stand by for the build.

@cretox We'we mentioned why 130 could not be built sooner back in f-droid.org/2024/09/26/twif.htโ€ฆ so having all these issue overlap was unfortunate. How was that saying, 'when it rains, it pours'? ๐Ÿ˜€'

Mull from the DivestOS repo seems to be fixed already. It seems to be due to F-Droid, because the delivery of the patched versions takes too long.
in reply to Marek

@mark22k Note that the DivestOS developer helps with both Fennec and Mull in F-Droid, but they built the app for their own repo with the missing binaries taken from Mozilla. At F-Droid we need to build those ourselves, and that took time to setup.
in reply to F-Droid

The UX is a bit weird. Recommends to uninstall Fennec immediately due to a vulnerability, but doesn't have a link to/explanation of the vulnerability as far as I can tell.

It would also be nice if F-Droid would mention mitigations that don't require uninstalling Fennec. I would guess that in this case not using Fennec would be enough.
in reply to Sertonix

@sertonix @met There are no mitigations as far as we know, besides the usual advice of not browsing shady sites and using uBlock. Also note that the warning message is rather generic, so that users notice and ask for more info. We can discuss a better text in our Forum if need be.

> Contributors fixed the issues

@fdroidorg Aren't there 11 threads still open on gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-โ€ฆ ?

in reply to F-Droid

thanks for pointing that out, even though the message in F-Droid is somewhat misleading and might indicate that Fennec in general should be uninstalled and not only the specific vuln version. Also a note that it can be reinstalled once the updated version is available would have been nice. Like that it has caused quite some hassle in the community.
in reply to F-Droid

I appreciate all of what Fdroid does. But the warning implied some kind of virus or malware

Akin to screaming fire in a crowded theatre

so many people want to have updates, but so less people want to participate in. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
