"A vulnerability has been reported in inotify-tools, which can
potentially be exploited by malicious users to compromise an
application using the library.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code with
privileges of the application using the affected library.

NOTE: The programs shipped with inotify-tools are reportedly not
affected.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 3.11.

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."
