Calendar Grey September 30, 2017
Dist Fedora Esm H88
This release provides essential security improvements for pkgconf on Fedora 25, targeting particular crash situations and errors in logic.
# Security fixes - fix crash in edge case where a .pc file has misquoting in a fragment list

Summary

pkgconf is a program which helps to configure compiler and linker flags

for development frameworks. It is similar to pkg-config from freedesktop.org

and handles .pc files in a similar manner as pkg-config.

# Security fixes - fix crash in edge case where a .pc file has misquoting in a

fragment list. # Other bug fixes: - fix logic edge case when comparing

relocated paths

su -c 'dnf upgrade pkgconf' at the command line.
