There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - unixsocket.c in lxterminal through 0.3.0 insecurely uses /tmp for a socket file, allowing a local user to
    cause a denial of service (preventing terminal launch), or possibly have other impact (bypassing terminal
    access control). (CVE-2016-10369)

A potential security flaw is found on LXDE products, which create socket under /tmp with some predictable names, which may leads to DOS.
The security flow on lxterminal is now assigned as CVE-2016-10369.
Some other components also had similar issues. These new rpms should fix these issues. 

At least relogin is required to make this fix effect.
