MGASA-2012-0127
Date: 	June 27th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated perl-Config-IniFiles package fixes security vulnerability:

perl-Config-IniFiles used a predicatable temporary file name
(${filename}-new) which makes it prone to a symlink attack. If a
malicious user were to create a symlink pointing to another file
writable by the user running an application that used
perl-Config-IniFiles, they could overwrite the contents of that
file (CVE-2012-2451).


Updated Packages:
Mageia 1:
perl-Config-IniFiles-2.760.0-1.mga1

Mageia 2:
perl-Config-IniFiles-2.760.0-1.mga2
