Fedora 19 : php-htmlpurifier-htmlpurifier-4.6.0-1.fc19 (2014-9379)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 77350

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

HTML Purifier 4.6.0 is a major security release, fixing numerous bad quadratic asymptotics in HTML Purifier's core algorithms. Most users will see a decent speedup on large inputs, although small inputs may take longer. Additionally, the secure URI munging algorithm has changed to do a proper HMAC. There are some other miscellaneous bugfixes as well.

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 php-htmlpurifier-htmlpurifier package.
