TITLE:
Red Hat update for brltty

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39231

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39231/

DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for brltty. This fixes a security issue,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to potentially gain
escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to /usr/lib/brltty/libbrlttybba.so
using an insecure relative RPATH (runtime library search path) set in
the ELF header. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by
tricking a user into executing an application using the library in an
attacker controlled directory.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
