Dist Fedora Esm H88
Augeas 1.14.2 security update on Fedora 42 addresses a critical null pointer issue for enhanced stability and security.
CVE-2025-2588

Summary

A library for programmatically editing configuration files. Augeas parses

configuration files into a tree structure, which it exposes through its

public API. Changes made through the API are written back to the initially

read files.

The transformation works very hard to preserve comments and formatting

details. It is controlled by ``lens' definitions that describe the file

format and the transformation into a tree.
