Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Update to a new version.

Security bug fixed: when links was connected to tor, it would send real dns requests outside the tor network when the displayed page contains a certain link.

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 1:links package.
