If you aren't familiar with how to update your Fedora distribution, don't worry, here is how.
Switch to super-user root
$ su -
As user root run this commands
# yum update

Yum will fetch a list of recently updated packages and compare them to you own installation and then produce a list of packages that you could/should download. A simple confirmation of Yes or No is all it takes. Yum will take in consideration dependencies so you don't have to worry about that either.

Happy Updating!
