Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Two security bugs were fixed in this release :

 - CVE-2011-1006: Heap-based buffer overflow by converting list of controllers for given task into an array of strings

 - CVE-2011-1022: Unchecked origin of NETLINK messages
