Insight
Update Information: This security update fixes an off-by-one overflow in Compress::Raw::Zlib (CVE-2009-1391) Moreover, it contains a subtle change to the configuration that does not affect the Perl interpreter itself, but fixes the propagation of the chosen options to the modules. For example, a rebuild of perl-Wx against perl-5.10.0-73 will fix bug 508496. ChangeLog: * Tue Jul 7 2009 Stepan Kasal - 4:5.10.0-73 - re-enable tests * Tue Jul 7 2009 Stepan Kasal - 4:5.10.0-72 - move -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV to ccflags (#508496) * Mon Jun 8 2009 Marcela Maláová - 4:5.10.0-71 - #504386 update of Compress::Raw::Zlib 2.020 * Thu Jun 4 2009 Marcela Maláová - 4:5.10.0-70 - update File::Spec (PathTools) to 3.30 * Wed Jun 3 2009 Stepan Kasal - 4:5.10.0-69 - fix #221113, $! wrongly set when EOF is reached
