critical Nessus Plugin ID 40866

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes multiple buffer overflows when reading large image files, or maliciously created image files whose headers misrepresent the actual image size.

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.

Solution

Update the affected xemacs package.
