The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

GUI :

 - Better names for the default filters in save and export

 - Remember the 'maximized' state across sessions

 - Simplify the splash image code a lot, makes it appear immediately again

 - Allow the text tool to start on an image without layers

 - Various fixes for text style attribute handling

 - Set unconfigured input devices to eraser if GTK+ says they are erasers

Libgimp :

 - Fix a whole bunch of bugs in the BMP plug-in

General :

 - Lots of bug fixes

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
