Fedora 12 : gtk2-2.18.5-3.fc12 (2009-12950)

high Nessus Plugin ID 43330

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes a crasher issue in gtk2 involving out of process windows. Side effects of the bug are sporadic panel crashes, and occasional crashes in gnome-screensaver when typing an invalid password. This update also addresses a crash in Inkscape when using the text tool.

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 gtk2 package.
