Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

- update to 1.8.6p7

- fixes CVE-2013-1775 and CVE-2013-1776

- fixed several packaging issues (thanks to ville.skytta at iki.fi)

- build with system zlib.

- let rpmbuild strip libexecdir/*.so.

- own the %%{_docdir}/sudo-* dir.

- fix some rpmlint warnings (spaces vs tabs, unescaped macros).

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.
