Fedora 25: menu-cache Security Update
Summary
Menu-cache is a caching mechanism for freedesktop.org compliant menus to
speed up parsing of the menu entries. It is currently used by some of
components of the LXDE desktop environment such as LXPanel or LXLauncher.
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.
