Maintenance patch released for geocode-glib in Fedora 29, tackling vulnerabilities related to executable memory stacks that may pose security threats.

Summary

geocode-glib is a convenience library for the geocoding (finding longitude,

and latitude from an address) and reverse geocoding (finding an address from

coordinates). It uses Nominatim service to achieve that. It also caches

(reverse-)geocoding requests for faster results and to avoid unnecessary server

load.

This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in

the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be

marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to

security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials. This

update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy

Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases,

those updates have been edited instead).

* Tue Apr 16 2019 Adam Williamson - 3.26.1-2

- Rebuild with Meson fix for #1699099

* Thu Mar 14 2019 Kalev Lember - 3.26.1-1

- Update to 3.26.1
