Synopsis
The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.Description
A bug was reported that xscreensaver unlocking password dialog crashes randomly. It is found this problem occurs when GL hack is launched without gl helper binary installed. The new three packages fixes this issue. Now packages which contain GL xscreensaver hacks also install gl helper binary correctly.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 packages.See Also
