Fedora 20 : lightdm-1.7.15-1.fc20 (2013-16293)

high Nessus Plugin ID 70055

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

New upstream bugfix release :

 - Correctly set permissions on Xauthority file.

 - Correctly set $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for non-autologin sessions

 - Fix overallocation of array for strings from greeter.

 - Set XDG_VTNR=1 as a fallback if using SeatUnity without a functioning compositor or working VT switching, so that logind will recognize the VT as active.

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 lightdm package.
