TITLE:
Fedora update for perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-DSA

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34001

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34001/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-DSA. This fixes a
vulnerability, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people
to conduct spoofing attacks.

The problem is that the Crypto::OpenSSL::DSA module passes the return
value of the OpenSSL "DSA_do_verify()" function through verbatim,
potentially leading to problems in certain Perl applications
incorrectly checking the return values.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages using the yum utility ("yum update
perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-DSA").
