DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for openconnect. This fixes a weakness,
which can be exploited by malicious people to gain access to
sensitive information.
The weakness is caused due to the application displaying the "webvpn"
cookie when running in debug mode, which is used to identify a VPN
session.
SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update
openconnect").
