Fedora 27 Unbound Update Notification - Privilege Escalation Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey February 27, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The recent update for Unbound on Fedora 27 enhances security measures by eliminating writable configuration bits and implementing standard build options.
Use default RPM build flags and configure parameters (#1539097) Remove group writable bit from some config files (#1528445)

Summary

Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS(SEC) resolver.

The C implementation of Unbound is developed and maintained by NLnet

Labs. It is based on ideas and algorithms taken from a java prototype

developed by Verisign labs, Nominet, Kirei and ep.net.

Unbound is designed as a set of modular components, so that also

DNSSEC (secure DNS) validation and stub-resolvers (that do not run

as a server, but are linked into an application) are easily possible.

Use default RPM build flags and configure parameters (#1539097) Remove group

writable bit from some config files (#1528445)
