CVE-2011-4115 doesn't affect squeeze/wheezy



Hi,

It seems the security tracker is told that CVE-2011-4115 in package 
libparallel-forkmanager-perl is affecting squeeze/wheezy, but this is 
not true.

Thing is, the problem with the insecure temporary files handling is 
introduced in version 0.7.6, and squeeze/wheezy ship 0.7.5. Later the 
problem is fixed in version 1.0.0 and instable has 1.02 (yes, version 
numbering scheme changed) and is ok.

Some more information about the bug is available in upstream bug 
report at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=68298
