SUSE SLED12 Security Update : gimp (SUSE-SU-2017:3062-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 104778

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for gimp fixes the following issues :

- Don't build gimp with webkit1 support, as it is no longer maintained and has plenty of security bugs. This disables the GIMP's built-in help browser; it will use an external browser when configured this way. This works around a number of security vulnerabilities in Webkit1.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
