Date: 	July 24th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated rhythmbox packages fix security vulnerability:

Hans Spaans discovered that the Context plugin in Rhythmbox created
a temporary directory in an insecure manner. A local attacker could
exploit this to execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.
The Context plugin is disabled by default in Ubuntu (CVE-2012-3355).
