Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes two security vulnerabilities: a crash when processing crafted commands (CVE-2012-4502) and uninitialized data sent in command replies (CVE-2012-4503).

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 chrony package.
