medium Nessus Plugin ID 36023

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes a security issue in the expo plugin which allows local users with physical access to drag the screen saver aside and access the locked desktop by using Expo mouse shortcuts.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
