MGASA-2012-0241
Date: 	August 26th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated open-iscsi package fixes security vulnerability:

Colin Watson discovered that iscsi_discovery in Open-iSCSI did not
safely create temporary files. A local attacker could exploit this
to overwrite arbitrary files with root privileges (CVE-2009-1297).


Updated Packages:
Mageia 1:
open-iscsi-2.0-871.4.1.mga1

Mageia 2:
open-iscsi-2.0-871.4.1.mga2
