Fedora 11 : konversation-1.2.3-1.fc11 (2010-1883)

high Nessus Plugin ID 47281

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Update to version 1.2.3, which fixes remote crash caused by a message containing invalid Unicode characters. If the message triggers a KNotify notification, invalid Unicode string is sent over D-Bus, resulting in application crash. Apart from that, the earlier update to 1.2.2 included lots of fixes for DCC- related functions like DCC Chat and DCC file transfers, stability fixes that address a number of crashbugs. Refer to upstream release notes for the full list of issues addressed in new version: http://konversation.kde.org/

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 konversation package.
