DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has acknowledged a vulnerability in uzbl, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the default configuration file
containing an insecure binding for the middle mouse button, which can
be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands by e.g.
tricking a user into clicking a malicious link using the middle mouse
button.
SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update uzbl").
Manually check and update uzbl configuration files (see vendor's
advisory for additional details).
