Summary
Updated readline packages fix security vulnerability
Details

Steve Kemp discovered the rltropen() function in readline insecurely handled a temporary file. This could allow a local attacker to perform symbolic link attacks (CVE-2014-2524).

Also, upstream patches have been added to fix an infinite loop in vi input mode, and to fix an issue with slowness when pasting text.
