Hi folks,

libsndfile for EL-5 has had a security vulnerability for many months,
and now that it is actively maintained again, unfortunately hit the
Bodhi proventester bottleneck (see forwarded announcement below)

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Luke Macken <lmacken at redhat.com>
Subject: Bodhi 0.7.5 release

[...]
Critical path package[0] updates now require positive karma from two
proventesters[1], and a single +1 from one other community member.
[...]

We need two proventesters to approve this update:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libsndfile-1.0.17-3.el5

The patch applied is trivial (see the first linked bug report in the
update request, and feel free to check out the libsndfile package and
verify that the patch is applied to the EL-5 branch).

Thanks,

--
