Fedora 29: FEDORA-2019-9ccbbfeae1 Moderate: Mingw-Libconfuse Out-of-Bounds

- update to 3.2.2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2019-9ccbbfeae1 2019-02-12 02:55:09.916508 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : mingw-libconfuse Product : Fedora 29 Version : 3.2.2 Release : 1.fc29 URL : https://github.com/libconfuse/libconfuse Summary : MinGW configuration file parser library Description : libConfuse is a configuration file parser library, licensed under the terms of the ISC license, and written in C. It supports sections and (lists of) values (strings, integers, floats, booleans or other sections), as well as some other features (such as single/double-quoted strings, environment variable expansion, functions and nested include statements). It makes it very easy to add configuration file capability to a program using a simple API. The goal of libConfuse is not to be the configuration file parser library with a gazillion of features. Instead, it aims to be easy to use and quick to integrate with your code. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: - update to 3.2.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: * Sat Feb 2 2019 Thomas Sailer - 3.2.2-1 - update to 3.2.2 * Fri Feb 1 2019 Fedora Release Engineering - 3.2.1-6 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_30_Mass_Rebuild --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1610171 - CVE-2018-14447 mingw-libconfuse: libconfuse: Out-of-bounds read in src/lexer.l:trim_whitespace() [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1610171 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
