Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 41 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-b92313b6f2 advisory.

 Upgrade to 2.48.0:

 * Move tile rendering to worker threads when rendering with the GPU.
 * Fix preserve-3D intersection rendering.
 * Added new function for creating Promise objects to the JavaScriptCore GLib API.
 * The MediaRecorder backend gained WebM support (requires at least GStreamer 1.24.9) and audio bitrate configuration support.
 * Fix invalid DPI-aware font size conversion.
 * Bring back support for OpenType-SVG fonts using Skia SVG module.
 * Add metadata (title and creation/modification date) to the PDF document generated for printing.
 * Propagate the fonts computed locale to HarfBuzz.
 * The GPU process build is now enabled for WebGL, but the web process is still used by default. The runtime flag UseGPUProcessForWebGL can be used to use the GPU process for WebGL.
 * Fix CVE-2025-24201, CVE-2024-44192, CVE-2024-54467
