Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:132
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : readline
Date : March 29, 2015
Affected: Business Server 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated readline packages fix security vulnerability:
Steve Kemp discovered the _rl_tropen() function in readline insecurely
handled a temporary file. This could allow a local attacker to perform
symbolic link attacks (CVE-2014-2524).
Also, upstream patches have been added to fix an infinite loop in vi
input mode, and to fix an issue with slowness when pasting text.
