Fedora 29: FEDORA-2019-27e7b92407 Moderate: Gnome-Characters Security Fix

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2019-27e7b92407 2019-04-22 05:09:02.624501 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : gnome-characters Product : Fedora 29 Version : 3.30.0 Release : 3.fc29 URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/CharacterMap Summary : Character map application for GNOME Description : Characters is a simple utility application to find and insert unusual characters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: 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.
