 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : sympa
 Date    : August 9, 2009
 Affected: 2008.1, Corporate 4.0, Enterprise Server 5.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in sympa:
 
 sympa.pl in sympa 5.3.4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary
 files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.  NOTE: wwsympa.fcgi
 was also reported, but the issue occurred in a dead function, so it
 is not a vulnerability (CVE-2008-4476).
 
 This update fixes this vulnerability.
