Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 36 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-8900b35c6f advisory.

 * The Bubblewrap sandbox no longer requires setting an application identifier via GApplication to operate correctly. Using GApplication is still recommended, but optional.
 * Adjust the scrolling speed for mouse wheels to make it feel more natural.
 * Allow pasting content using the Asynchronous Clipboard API when the origin is the same as the clipboard contents.
 * Improvements to the GStreamer multimedia playback, in particular around MSE, WebRTC, and seeking.
 * Make all supported image types appear in the Accept HTTP header.
 * Fix text caret blinking when blinking is disabled in the GTK settings.
 * Fix default database quota size definition.
 * Fix application of all caps tags listed in the font-feature-settings CSS property.
 * Fix font height calculations for the font-size-adjust CSS property.
 * Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
 * Security fixes: CVE-2022-0108, CVE-2022-32885, CVE-2023-25358, CVE-2023-27932, CVE-2023-27954, CVE-2023-28205
