Date: July 11th, 2012
Affected releases: 1, 2


Description:
Updated sympa packages fix security vulnerability:

The archive management (arc_manage) page in wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi.in
in Sympa before 6.1.11 does not check permissions, which allows remote
attackers to list, read, and delete arbitrary list archives via
vectors related to the (1) do_arc_manage, (2) do_arc_download, or
(3) do_arc_delete functions (CVE-2012-2352).

Additionally, a segfault occuring with perl 5.14.2 has been fixed on
Mageia 2.

sympa-6.1.4-2.2.mga1
sympa-www-6.1.4-2.2.mga1

Mageia 2:
