MGASA-2012-0193
Date: 	August 2nd, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated automake package fixes security vulnerability:

A race condition in automake (lib/am/distdir.am) could allow a local
attacker to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
make distcheck (CVE-2012-3386).

Please note that this vulnerability impacts not only the Automake package
itself, but all packages with Automake-generated makefiles. For an
effective fix it is necessary to regenerate the Makefile.in files with a
fixed Automake version.


Updated Packages:
Mageia 1:
automake-1.11.1-3.1.mga1
automake1.7-1.7.9-13.1.mga1

Mageia 2:
automake-1.11.3-1.1.mga2
automake1.7-1.7.9-13.1.mga2
