high Nessus Plugin ID 120461

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Changes to the spec file ensure the executables are built with the LDFLAGS and CFLAGS flags as described on https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/blob/master/f/bui ldflags.md to improve the security of the executables.

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 papi package.
