Fedora 29 : egl-wayland / elementary-camera / elementary-code / etc (2019-27e7b92407)

high Nessus Plugin ID 124207

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials.

This update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases, those updates have been edited instead).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
