Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes CVE-2015-2172

 - There's a security hole in the ACL plugins remote API component. The plugin failes to check for superuser permissions before executing ACL addition or deletion.
 This means everybody with permissions to call the XMLRPC API also has permissions to set up their own ACL rules and thus circumventing any existing rules. Update to the 2014-09-29b release which contains various fixes, notably :

Security :

 - CVE-2014-9253 - XSS via SFW file upload

 - CVE-2012-6662 - jquery-ui XSS vulnerability

Bugfixes :

 - dokuwiki requires php-xml (RHBZ#1061477)

 - wrong SELinux file context for writable files/directories (RHBZ#1064524)

 - drop httpd requirement (RHBZ#1164396)
