Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The 5.0.9 update contains a number of important fixes across the tree.
It also works around a [significant bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1697591) which prevents X from running on some Intel graphics hardware.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
