Fedora 25: lxterminal Security Update
Summary
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.
