[Mageia-dev] Security updates - help needed!

[David Walser]

Some old ones have finally left the list, some are still there, some new ones are here.  Help is still needed.

Also, Manuel pointed out a bugzilla search that will typically contain most of these.
https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=comp:secu+-@qa-b

......... updated initial message below ........

There are several packages that need security updates that either have not been built yet, or there are some issues that need help and/or input from packagers.

Please help out with these where you can.

I'll try to organize these into categories and give a little info on them so it's easy to see if you can and want to help.
