MGASA-2012-0153
Date: 	July 10th, 2012
Affected releases: 	2


Description:
Updated accountsservice packages fix security vulnerability:

Florian Weimer discovered that AccountsService incorrectly handled
privileges when copying certain files to the system cache directory.
A local attacker could exploit this issue to read arbitrary files,
bypassing intended permissions (CVE-2012-2737).


Updated Packages:
accountsservice-0.6.14-2.1.mga2
lib(64)accountsservice0-0.6.14-2.1.mga2
lib(64)accountsservice-devel-0.6.14-2.1.mga2
