This update for logrotate provides the following fixes :
The shred_file function in logrotate might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a log filename, as demonstrated by a filename that is automatically constructed on the basis of a hostname or virtual machine name (CVE-2011-1154) (bnc#679661)
Race condition in the createOutputFile function in logrotate allows local users to read log data by opening a file before the intended permissions are in place (CVE-2011-1098) (bnc#677336)
The writeState function in logrotate might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (rotation outage) via a (1) \n (newline) or (2) \ (backslash) character in a log filename, as demonstrated by a filename that is automatically constructed on the basis of a hostname or virtual machine name (CVE-2011-1155) (bnc#679662)
