Fedora 38 : reposurgeon (2023-76d18cf2fa)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 173672

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 38 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-76d18cf2fa advisory.

 4.35: 2023-03-21

 - Document an importand gotcha about working with CVS. Clean up some annoyances in the build and test machinery.

 4.34: 2023-01-24

 - Change repocutter -f (basename) option to -n. Default filecopy to matching a regexp; -f now undoes this. Add repocutter count and debug commands. Repocutter patches missing copyfrom source revisions. Added repocutter swapcheck command for sanity checking.

 4.33: 2022-12-21

 - Some potentially unsafe shellouts have been fixed. Format --fossil is no loinger broken. Fix segfault when listing descendants of orphaned commit. Ensure that repocutter is quieted when output is not stdout.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected reposurgeon package.
