Name : postgresql-pgpool-II
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 2.2.6
Release : 1.el5
URL : http://pgpool.projects.PostgreSQL.org
Summary : Pgpool is a connection pooling/replication server for PostgreSQL
Description :
pgpool-II is a inherited project of pgpool (to classify from
pgpool-II, it is sometimes called as pgpool-I). For those of
you not familiar with pgpool-I, it is a multi-functional
middle ware for PostgreSQL that features connection pooling,
replication and load balancing functions. pgpool-I allows a
user to connect at most two PostgreSQL servers for higher
availability or for higher search performance compared to a
single PostgreSQL server.
pgpool-II, on the other hand, allows multiple PostgreSQL
servers (DB nodes) to be connected, which enables queries
to be executed simultaneously on all servers. In other words,
it enables "parallel query" processing. Also, pgpool-II can
be started as pgpool-I by changing configuration parameters.
pgpool-II that is executed in pgpool-I mode enables multiple
DB nodes to be connected, which was not possible in pgpool-I.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This version enhances handling of backend weight. Also it allows to use temp
tables in master/slave mode. It includes various fixes for bugs in 2.2.5 or
before as usual. Please read NEWS for more details.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use
su -c 'yum update postgresql-pgpool-II' at the command line.

Name : hdf5
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 1.6.10
Release : 1.el5
URL : http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/
Summary : A general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data
Description :
HDF5 is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data.
HDF5 can store two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is
essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is a
structure for organizing objects in an HDF5 file. Using these two basic
objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific data
structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and unstructured
grids. You can also mix and match them in HDF5 files according to your needs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update to 1.6.10. - Embedded HDF5 Library Settings Information Library
settings are now embedded in an HDF5 executable so that an “orphaned” executable
can be queried (via the Unix strings command, for example) to display the
library settings used to build it. The embedded settings information is the same
as that normally found in the libhdf5.settings file. This capability may
be disabled with the use of the --disable-embedded-libinfo flag during
configure. Function with Changed Interface or Behavior
H5check_version now displays embedded library information (see above) if a
version mismatch is detected. The function has also been changed to
suppress the warning message entirely if $HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is set to 2
or higher. - New C++ Member Functions New C++ member functions are
provided to determine a dataset’s or attribute’s data size in memory:
size_t DataSet::getInMemDataSize() const size_t
Attribute::getInMemDataSize() const The size in each case is in bytes.
- Tool with Changed Interface or Behavior h5diff has one new option:
--use-system-epsilon With this option, h5diff returns a difference if and
only if the difference between two data values exceeds the system value for
epsilon (that is, if |a-b| > epsilon). The tool’s default behavior has
also changed; without this option, the tool now checks for strict equality.
This option has no short form.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use
su -c 'yum update hdf5' at the command line.

user input when displaying category information. Users privileged to create
contact categories can insert arbitrary HTML and script code into the contact
module administration page. Such a cross-site scripting attack may lead to the
malicious user gaining administrative access. Wikipedia has more information
about cross-site scripting [1] (XSS). This issue affects Drupal 6.x and Drupal
5.x. .... Menu description cross-site scripting The Menu module does not
correctly handle certain user input when displaying the menu administration
overview. Users privileged to create new menus can insert arbitrary HTML and
script code into the menu module administration page. Such a cross-site
scripting attack may lead to the malicious user gaining administrative access.

[3]. * If you are running Drupal 5.x then upgrade to Drupal 5.21 [4]. If
you are unable to upgrade immediately, you can apply a patch to secure your
installation until you are able to do a proper upgrade. Theses patches fix the
security vulnerability, but do not contain other fixes which were released in
Drupal 5.21 or Drupal 6.15. * To patch Drupal 6.14 use SA-
CORE-2009-009-6.14.patch [5]. * To patch Drupal 5.20 use SA-
CORE-2009-009-5.20.patch [6]. -------- REPORTED BY
