Fedora 13 : gnucash-2.3.15-2.fc13 (2010-16605)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 50419

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This updates GnuCash to the latest 2.4 development release, and removes an unneeded file that could cause a security issue if ran from a directory that other users had write access to.

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 gnucash package.
