Urgent patch released for Fedora 21's Thermostat application resolves sensitive data exposure concerns swiftly.
Security fix for CVE-2015-3201

Summary

Thermostat is a monitoring and instrumentation tool for the Hotspot JVM,

with support for monitoring multiple JVM instances. The system is made

up of two processes: an Agent, which collects data, and a Client which

allows users to visualize this data. These components communicate via

a MongoDB-based storage layer. A pluggable agent and gui framework

allows for collection and visualization of performance data beyond that

which is included out of the box.
