Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gtk+3.0' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0374 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated gtk+3.0 packages fix security vulnerability:

Clemens Fries reported that, when using Cinnamon, it was possible to bypass
the screensaver lock. An attacker with physical access to the machine could
use this flaw to take over the locked desktop session (CVE-2014-1949).

This was fixed by including a patch for the root cause of the issue in
gtk+3.0, which came from the implementation of popup menus in GtkWindow
(bgo#722106).

This update also includes other patches from upstream to fix bugs affecting
GtkFileChooser (bgo#386569, bgo#719977) and GtkSpinButton (bgo#709491), and a
crash related to clipboard handling (bgo#719314).

Affected Software/OS:
'gtk+3.0' package(s) on Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
