error: Package ‘fluffychat-linux-1.20.0’ in /nix/store/20yis5w6g397plssim663hqxdiiah2wr-source/pkgs/applications/networking/instant-messengers/fluffychat/default.nix:41 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate. | |
Known issues: | |
- The libolm end‐to‐end encryption library used in many Matrix | |
clients and Jitsi Meet has been deprecated upstream, and relies | |
on a cryptography library that has known side‐channel issues and | |
disclaims that its implementations are not cryptographically secure | |
and should not be used when cryptographic security is required. | |
It is not known if the issues can be exploited over the network in | |
practical conditions. Upstream does not believe such an attack is | |
feasible, but has stated that the library should not be used going | |
forward, and there are no plans to move to another cryptography | |
implementation or otherwise further maintain the library at all. | |
You should make an informed decision about whether to override this | |
security warning, especially if you critically rely on end‐to‐end | |
encryption. If you don’t care about that, or don’t use the Matrix | |
functionality of a multi‐protocol client depending on libolm, | |
then there should be no additional risk. | |
Some clients are investigating migrating away from libolm to maintained | |
libraries without known vulnerabilities. | |
