Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 26 has released a security notice concerning rpm-ostree, featuring essential patches and significant enhancements.
https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/releases/tag/v2017.3 This release includes a fix for [CVE-2017-2623](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1422157)

Summary

rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system. It supports

"composing" packages on a build server into an OSTree repository,

which can then be replicated by client systems with atomic upgrades.

Additionally, unlike many "pure" image systems, with rpm-ostree

each client system can layer on additional packages, providing

a "best of both worlds" approach.
