Fedora 28: beep Security Update
Summary
Beep allows the user to control the PC speaker with precision,
allowing different sounds to indicate different events. While it
can be run quite happily on the command line, its intended place
of residence is within shell/Perl scripts, notifying the user when
something interesting occurs. Of course, it has no notion of
what's interesting, but it's real good at that notifying part.
Security fix for CVE-2018-1000532, new non-root permissions and a few smaller
fixes. Fix a directory traversal issue introduced with the fix for
CVE-2018-1000532, and refuses to run as setuid root or via sudo to avoid any
more priviledge escalation issue. ---- Security fix for CVE-2018-1000532 and a
