Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes :

- Array index error, leading to out-of heap-based buffer read (CVE-2012-2141)

- Size values in hrStorageTable and hrFSTable.

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.
