Fedora Core 3 : devhelp-0.9.2-2.3.6 (2005-933)

high Nessus Plugin ID 19878

Synopsis

The remote Fedora Core host is missing a security update.

Description

There were several security flaws found in the mozilla package, which devhelp depends on. Users of devhelp are advised to upgrade to this updated package which has been rebuilt against a version of mozilla not vulnerable to these flaws.

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 devhelp, devhelp-debuginfo and / or devhelp-devel packages.
