New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

Synopsis
The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.Description
This update fixes a Denial of Service vulnerability in git-daemon. It also fixes minor issues when using git-cvsimport and the formatting of the git-daemon xinetd service description.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 git package.See Also
