patch available.

  - lib/fsm.c in RPM 4.8.0 and earlier does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during
    replacement of the file in an RPM package upgrade or deletion of the file in an RPM package removal, which
    might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions by creating a hard link to a vulnerable
    file that has a POSIX ACL, a related issue to CVE-2010-2059. (CVE-2010-2199)
