Modification date: 08 Jun 2015
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 4

Description

The GNU parallel package has been updated to version 20150422, which contains
a number of bug fixes, improvements and new features.

It also fixes a symlink attack issue which should not be exploitable on Mageia
as it is prevented by the kernel's protected_symlinks feature.
