TITLE:
Fedora update for trickle

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34027

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34027/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for trickle. This fixes a vulnerability,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated
privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to trickle using the current working
directory as part of the library search path. This can be exploited
to gain escalated privileges by e.g. tricking a user into running
trickle in a directory containing a malicious library.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update trickle").
