Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update avoids a GIF reader loop (CVE-2011-2896). This update enables CUPS by default. This update re-introduces support for Avahi.

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 cups package.
