http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : rpmdevtools
Date : April 10, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated rpmdevtools package fixes security vulnerability:

A TOCTOU race condition was found in the way 'annotate-output' (used
to execute a program annotating the output linewise with time and
stream) tool of rpmdevtools before 8.3 performed management of its
temporary files used for standard output and standard error output. A
local attacker could use this flaw to conduct symbolic link attacks,
possibly leading to their ability in an unauthorized way to alter
files belonging to the user running the 'annotate-output' tool
(CVE-2012-3500).
