Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Security fix for CVE-2017-15111, CVE-2017-15112

Two minor security issues were discovered and were assigned CVE's.
CVE-2017-15112 concerns the ability to pass a password on the command line where it could be exposed. That option has been deprecated. See the man page for multiple ways to pass the password. CVE-2017-15111 corrects the default location of a log file when running the low level utilities directly, it had placed the log file in /tmp where a symbolic link could be created pointing to another file. The risk with CVE-2017-15111 is very low as this feature is seldom used, it's mostly for developers.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected keycloak-httpd-client-install package.
