Fedora – Security Updates

Fedora 20 Security Update: Pound-2.6-8.fc20

Note they usually are extra options that need
to be enabled manually so that we won’t break functionality:

– CVE-2012-4929: Disable compression to be safe from “CRIME”
– CVE-2005-2090: Chunked encofing response splitting (no awkward name here)
– CVE-2014-3566: Allow disabling SSLv3 (and others), to be safe from “POODLE”
– A redirect XSS fix
