Name        : deltarpm
Product     : Fedora EPEL 5
Version     : 3.4
Release     : 8.el5.1
URL         : http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/professional/deltarpm.html
Summary     : Create deltas between rpms
Description :
A deltarpm contains the difference between an old
and a new version of a rpm, which makes it possible
to recreate the new rpm from the deltarpm and the old
one. You don't have to have a copy of the old rpm,
deltarpms can also work with installed rpms.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

deltarpm prior to the current build ships with a bundled copy of zlib.  This
version of zlib has a known vulnerability with CVE identifier: CAN-2005-1849
This build of deltarpm patches the program to use the system zlib (which was
fixed when the vulnerability was first discovered) instead of the bundled copy.
