RedHat Update for automake. Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefile.in files compliant with the GNU Coding Standards. The updated automake packages resolve a vulnerability that could allow a malicious local user to modify files being added to distribution archives. Makefiles generated by these updated automake packages no longer make distribution directories world-writable

  Automake-generated Makefiles made certain directories world-writable when
  preparing source archives, as was recommended by the GNU Coding Standards.
  If a malicious, local user could access the directory where a victim was
  creating distribution archives, they could use this flaw to modify the
  files being added to those archives. Makefiles generated by these updated
  automake packages no longer make distribution directories world-writable,
  as recommended by the updated GNU Coding Standards. (CVE-2009-4029)
  
  Note: This issue affected Makefile targets used by developers to prepare
  distribution source archives. Those targets are not used when compiling
  programs from the source code.
  
  All users of automake, automake14, automake15, automake16, and automake17
  should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.";
