Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kitty'
package(s) announced via the FEDORA-2022-d718af66d1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
- Offloads rendering to the GPU for lower system load and buttery smooth
scrolling. Uses threaded rendering to minimize input latency.

- Supports all modern terminal features: graphics (images), unicode, true-color,
OpenType ligatures, mouse protocol, focus tracking, bracketed paste and
several new terminal protocol extensions.

- Supports tiling multiple terminal windows side by side in different layouts
without needing to use an extra program like tmux.

- Can be controlled from scripts or the shell prompt, even over SSH.

- Has a framework for Kittens, small terminal programs that can be used to
extend kitty', s functionality. For example, they are used for Unicode input,
Hints and Side-by-side diff.

- Supports startup sessions which allow you to specify the window/tab layout,
working directories and programs to run on startup.

- Cross-platform: kitty works on Linux and macOS, but because it uses only
OpenGL for rendering, it should be trivial to port to other Unix-like
platforms.

- Allows you to open the scrollback buffer in a separate window using arbitrary
programs of your choice. This is useful for browsing the history comfortably
in a pager or editor.

- Has multiple copy/paste buffers, like vim.

Affected Software/OS:
'kitty' package(s) on Fedora 36.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
