Fedora 28: kernel-headers Security Update 2018-cc812838fb

August 3, 2018

The 4.17.11 stable update contains a number of important fixes across the tree

Summary

Kernel-headers includes the C header files that specify the interface

between the Linux kernel and userspace libraries and programs. The

header files define structures and constants that are needed for

building most standard programs and are also needed for rebuilding the

glibc package.

The 4.17.11 stable update contains a number of important fixes across the tree.

Also of note, starting with this release, kernel-headers is built from a

different srpm. The contents should be the same, but there were some benefits to

breaking it from the kernel build. ---- The 4.17.10 stable kernel update

contains a number of important fixes across the tree.
