Fedora 24: 2016-17392 High: Tar Utility Vulnerability Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey September 18, 2015
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest Fedora 23 release includes an important update for smuxi, designed to bolster user privacy by guarding against the exposure of real names.
smuxi-1.0-2.fc23 - Added patch to not expose the user's realname automatically (bz#1257597)

Summary

Smuxi is an open-source, powerful, flexible, and user-friendly chat client

created by Mirco Bauer and developed by other contributors.

Inspired by the combination of screen and irssi, Smuxi has a detachable server

(or like a "normal" client) that stays connected when you aren't, and

can allow multiple Smuxi front-ends (like the GNOME front-end, or

STFL text-based front-end) to be connected and in sync.

This is similar to screen+irssi or IRC bouncers, but more elegant and powerful.
