Fedora 19 : fedup-0.9.0-2.fc19 (2014-14252)

low Nessus Plugin ID 78866

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update works around a serious problem in Fedora 21 Beta which makes systems automatically shut down 15 minutes into the upgrade.

Other improvements :

 - Adds `--product=PRODUCT` flag, required for upgrades to F21

 - Uses host's config files in `upgrade.img`, which should fix various upgrade problems (e.g. incorrect keyboard layout when unlocking disks due to missing `vconsole.conf`)

 - Logging improvements: complete upgrade log should appear in system journal

 - Adds a warning for upgrades without a new kernel

 - Fixes a bunch of crashes

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 fedup package.
