Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This updates to the current upstream 2.2.0 release which is configuration compatible with the prior 2.1.12.

Version 2.2.0 includes a security fix for CVE-2012-3547 Stack-based buffer overflow

This update also includes a fix to prevent .rpmsave and .rpmnew files from being read from the configuration directories.

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.
