Fedora 14 : uzbl-0-0.16.20100626gitafc0f873e.fc14 (2010-12386)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 48413

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Fix a bug in the default configuration for the mouse bindings that can allow crafted links to execute arbitrary shell code. Please check your local configuration and replace '\@SELECTED_URI' with '$8' in any string that is executed as shell code (usually involves 'sh 'commands_here').

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 uzbl package.
