Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Fix double-free when loading Digest::SHA object representing the intermediate SHA state from a file (RT#82655)

The following command should be run without any errors.

perl -MDigest::SHA -e 'my $d = Digest::SHA->new(256); $d->load('x');' Fix Locale::Maketext vulnerability allowing to cross-call functions from message catalogs (CVE-2012-6329).
