-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2016-287d763bcd 2016-02-29 18:02:47.194813 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : octave Product : Fedora EPEL 7 Version : 3.8.2 Release : 19.el7 URL : http://www.octave.org Summary : A high-level language for numerical computations Description : GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language. Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary differential and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily extensible and customizable via user-defined functions written in Octave's own language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C++, C, Fortran, or other languages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Security fix for CVE-2015-8808 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1305505 - CVE-2015-8808 GraphicsMagick: out-of-bound read in the parsing of GIF files https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1305505 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs.
