Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This removes an unneeded file in GnuCash that could cause a security issue if ran from a directory that other users had write access to.

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 gnucash package.
