Update to latest maintenance release. It was discovered that, in certain configurations, the Thermostat agent disclosed JMX management URLs of all local Java virtual machines to any local user. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-8120)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
