Dist Fedora Esm H88
Important information regarding the OpenVAS Manager update for Fedora 22 which rectifies the XSS vulnerability associated with CVE-2016-1926. It's crucial to secure your environment!
Bump to latest upstream bugfix releases

Summary

The OpenVAS Manager is the central service that consolidates plain vulnerability

scanning into a full vulnerability management solution. The Manager controls the

Scanner via OTP and itself offers the XML-based, stateless OpenVAS Management

Protocol (OMP). All intelligence is implemented in the Manager so that it is

possible to implement various lean clients that will behave consistently e.g.

with regard to filtering or sorting scan results. The Manager also controls

a SQL database (sqlite-based) where all configuration and scan result data is

centrally stored.
