Dist Fedora Esm H88
A vital security patch for Fedora 28's kernel-headers implemented to mitigate MDS flaws is now available. Ensure your system's safety!
The 5.0.16 stable updates contain 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 5.0.16 stable updates contain a number of important fixes across the tree.

Most importantly, these updates address the kernel portion of the MDS CVEs.

---- The 5.0.14 update contains a number of important fixes across the tree.

There is no kernel-headers or kernel-tools build this time.
