-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2017-3f2d5790d2 2017-05-30 15:08:36.562803 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : lxterminal Product : Fedora 24 Version : 0.3.0 Release : 3.fc24 URL : http://lxde.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Desktop-independent VTE-based terminal emulator Description : LXterminal is a VTE-based terminal emulator with support for multiple tabs. It is completely desktop-independent and does not have any unnecessary dependencies. In order to reduce memory usage and increase the performance all instances of the terminal are sharing a single process.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
A potential security flaw is found on LXDE products, which create socket under /tmp with some predictable names, which may leads to DOS. The security flow on lxterminal is now assigned as CVE-2016-10369. Some other components also had similar issues. These new rpms should fix these issues. At least relogin is required to make this fix effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
