Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update includes a rebase from 8.0.49 up to 8.0.50 which resolves two CVEs along with various other bugs/features :

 - rhbz#1548290	CVE-2018-1304 tomcat: Incorrect handling of empty string URL in security constraints can lead to unitended exposure of resources
