Fedora 22 : xscreensaver-5.34-1.fc22 (2015-0d0df8d770)

high Nessus Plugin ID 89142

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

A security flaw was found that xscreensaver aborts in some case with dual screen and unplugging one of them. This new rpm should fix the issue.

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 xscreensaver package.
