Topic

Updated opal packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red

Description

Open Phone Abstraction Library (opal) is implementation of various
telephony and video communication protocols for use over packet based
networks.

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the Ekiga application uses opal.

A flaw was discovered in the way opal handled certain Session Initiation

Users should upgrade to these updated opal packages which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.
