Summary
Updated flightgear package fixes security vulnerability
Details

It was reported that FlightGear suffers from improper handling of format strings when FlightGear is started with allowances for remote access (via the --props or --telnet commandline arguments). If a remote attacker were able to connect to FlightGear and set special parameters related with clouds, it could cause FlightGear to crash.
