Fedora 29 Security Advisory: Issues With Hesiod DNS and SUID Checks

Hesiod is a system which uses existing DNS functionality to provide access

to databases of information that changes infrequently. It is often used to

distribute information kept in the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/printcap

files, among others.
