Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

- change %%{_sharedstatedir} to %%{_localstatedir}/lib as these expand differently on EL (bz #767719)

- fix XSS vulnerability (bz #749846, bz #749847, bz #749848) CVE-2011-3361

- additional documentation about enabling correct channels in RHEL to resolve all dependencies (bz #749627)

- fix bug with missing tmpfiles.d directory

- add perl(Digest::MD5) to list of build and install dependencies

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 BackupPC package.
