Every Gradle before v7 (including our beloved gradle_6) is vulnerable to a number of vulnerabiliites:

  • CVE-2021-29429, affecting confidentiality
  • CVE-2021-29427, affecting confidentiality and can lead to dependency poisoning
  • CVE-2021-29428, a privilege escalation involving the temp dir
  • CVE-2021-32751, arbitrary code execution

To mark the package insecure, I had to add a meta attribute that is merged into the existing meta produced by the package. Eval succeeds (fails with insecure warning) when I tested this.

Let me know if the messages in knownVulnerabilities are too verbose.

cc the following maintainers, whose packages won't build after this package is marked insecure:

Closes #132127
Closes #147881
Closes #124636
Closes #124635

Off-topic: I'm wondering if we should remove this package after the feature freeze.

Upstream has made it possible to use a recent version of Gradle,
thanks to some patches:
* "1.2.6: changed JVM args to be compatible with Java 17"
    -> This is not directly applied, as it fails to apply cleanly; we use substituteInPlace instead
    -> TrashboxBobylev/Summoning-Pixel-Dungeon@c8a6fdd

* "1.2.6: updated desktop build script for Gradle 7.0+"
    -> TrashboxBobylev/Summoning-Pixel-Dungeon@5610142

Additionally, allows this package to keep working after NixOS#352236
