-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-10409 2008-11-26 04:13:48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : php-Smarty Product : Fedora 10 Version : 2.6.20 Release : 2.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-2008-4811 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * 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 #469648 - CVE-2008-4811 php-Smarty: PHP code execution via templates with \ escaped $ sign https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469648 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
