That's the false assumption that unmaintained is insecure. Any old DOS game in Dosbox would be insecure by that logic.

So if I run Dune2 in dosbox, is that a security issue? Of course not, but if you were to load a bitmap from the network and feed it to GTK1 for displaying, there could well be an overlooked issue lurking around. But you need to look at the greater picture, not just "old==insecure"
