Fedora Core 4 : yelp-2.10.0-1.4.1 (2005-622)

high Nessus Plugin ID 19280

Synopsis

The remote Fedora Core host is missing a security update.

Description

Yelp is a help documentation browser for the GNOME environment.

There were several security flaws found in the mozilla package, which yelp depends on. Users of yelp are advised to upgrade to this updated package which has been rebuilt against a version of mozilla not vulnerable to these flaws.

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 yelp and / or yelp-debuginfo packages.
