-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-5525 2009-05-27 01:31:24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : php-Smarty Product : Fedora 10 Version : 2.6.25 Release : 1.fc10 URL : http://smarty.php.net Summary : Template/Presentation Framework for PHP Description : Although Smarty is known as a "Template Engine", it would be more accurately described as a "Template/Presentation Framework." That is, it provides the programmer and template designer with a wealth of tools to automate tasks commonly dealt with at the presentation layer of an application. I stress the word Framework because Smarty is not a simple tag-replacing template engine. Although it can be used for such a simple purpose, its focus is on quick and painless development and deployment of your application, while maintaining high-performance, scalability, security and future growth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: CVE-2009-1669 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon May 25 2009 Christopher Stone <chris.stone@gmail.com> 2.6.25-1 - Upstream sync * Thu Feb 26 2009 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> - 2.6.20-3 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild * Sun Nov 2 2008 Christopher Stone <chris.stone@gmail.com> 2.6.20-2 - Add security patch (bz #469648) - Add RHL dist tag conditional for Requires -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #501564 - CVE-2009-1669 Smarty: arbitrary commands execution via shell metacharacters in the equation attribute of the math function https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501564 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
