Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev

From ${URL} :

Harald Hoyer from Red Hat reported that /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/99kdumpbase/module-setup.sh 
script uses insecure temporary files names, which can lead to a local denial of service.


@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

We are not installing this file. So not applicable to gentoo.
