Description

Updated perl-Gtk2 packages fix security vulnerability:

Incorrect memory management in Gtk2::Gdk::Display::list_devices in perl-Gtk2
before 1.2495, where, the code was freeing memory that gtk+ still holds onto
and might access later.

The perl-Gtk2 package has been updated to version 1.2495 to fix this issue and
other bugs.
