Dist Fedora Esm H88
The release of libgit2 version 0.27.5 resolves the major vulnerability CVE-2018-17456 for Fedora 29 platforms, along with essential upgrade guidelines.
Update to 0.27.5 (CVE-2018-17456)

Summary

libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods

provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing

you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language

with bindings.

Update to 0.27.5 (CVE-2018-17456). In addition, this update syncs the non-modular libgit2 with the modular version now that we aren't going to enable the

default module stream for F29.
