Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Two security issues have been fixed in this update: * A buffer overflow when processing GIF files * A heap-based overflow in a CUPS helper program, used for searching documentation This update also fixes a problem with processing some JPEG files.
