Dist Fedora Esm H88
The recent security patch for tinc in Fedora 29 resolves various critical vulnerabilities. Update promptly to maintain secure network communications.
Security fix for CVE-2018-16737, CVE-2018-16738, CVE-2018-16758

Summary

tinc is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) daemon that uses tunnelling

and encryption to create a secure private network between hosts on

the Internet. Because the tunnel appears to the IP level network

code as a normal network device, there is no need to adapt any

existing software. This tunnelling allows VPN sites to share

information with each other over the Internet without exposing any

information to others.
