Important security patch for libtirpc on Fedora 26 concerning CVE-2017-8779. Safeguard your system accordingly.
Fix for CVE-2017-8779

Summary

This package contains SunLib's implementation of transport-independent

RPC (TI-RPC) documentation. This library forms a piece of the base of

Open Network Computing (ONC), and is derived directly from the

Solaris 2.3 source.

TI-RPC is an enhanced version of TS-RPC that requires the UNIX System V

Transport Layer Interface (TLI) or an equivalent X/Open Transport Interface

(XTI). TI-RPC is on-the-wire compatible with the TS-RPC, which is supported

by almost 70 vendors on all major operating systems. TS-RPC source code

(RPCSRC 4.0) remains available from several internet sites.
