Details about builds:


================================================================================
 perl-Module-Signature-0.73-1.el5 (FEDORA-EPEL-2013-10388)
 CPAN signature management utilities and modules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update ensures that digest modules are only loaded from absolute paths in @INC, avoiding a potential arbitrary code execution problem (CVE-2013-2145).

There are also a variety of internal package clean-ups.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Fri Jun  7 2013 Paul Howarth <paul at city-fan.org> - 0.73-1
- Update to 0.73
  - Support for gpg under these alternate names: gpg gpg2 gnupg gnupg2
  - Don't check gpg version if gpg does not exist
  - Constrain the user-specified digest name to /^\w+\d+$/
  - Only allow loading Digest::* from absolute paths in @INC (CVE-2013-2145)
- This release by AUDREYT -> update source URL
- Include Andreas Koenig's GPG key in the SRPM and import it in %prep so
  that we don't need to get it from a keyserver in %check
- Make building non-interactive
- Specify all dependencies
- Don't need to remove empty directories from the buildroot
- Drop %defattr, redundant since rpm 4.4
- Use %{_fixperms} macro rather than our own chmod incantation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


================================================================================
 python-virtualenv-1.7.2-2.el5 (FEDORA-EPEL-2013-10396)
 Tool to create isolated Python environments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

* Switch to an older version of virtualenv because the 1.9.x branch doesn't work with python-2.4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


================================================================================
 rrdtool-1.2.27-4.el5 (FEDORA-EPEL-2013-10389)
 Round Robin Database Tool to store and display time-series data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This is an update that adds explicit check to the imginfo format. It may prevent crash/exploit of user space applications which pass user supplied format to the library call without checking.
