Fedora update for bltk

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38313/

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

The security issue is caused due to the utility
/usr/lib/bltk/bin/bltk_sudo allowing to invoke arbitrary commands
with root privileges without authentication.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by Matthew Garrett.
