Fedora 27 : zchunk (2018-3236af7d00)

high Nessus Plugin ID 118897

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update does sanity checking when an application passes in a checksum to verify. Before this release, applications could pass in non-hex values for the checksum, which could cause zchunk to crash.
Now non-hex values will be rejected.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected zchunk package.
