Fedora 24 lxterminal 0.3.0 Security Fix For Socket Threat

LXterminal is a VTE-based terminal emulator with support for multiple tabs.

It is completely desktop-independent and does not have any unnecessary

dependencies. In order to reduce memory usage and increase the performance

all instances of the terminal are sharing a single process.

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.
