Security fix for DB_CONFIG parsing when db_home is not set. This update also introduces modified fixes for rhbz#1394862 once again and additionally fixes ppc specific hangs described in rhbz#1460003. Please be aware that this update is expected to cause **DB_VERSION_MISMATCH** errors during installation if you are still running an older release of libdb. These errors are a result of packages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2017-2b68e14594 2017-07-07 22:40:59.826956 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : libdb Product : Fedora 26 Version : 5.3.28 Release : 24.fc26 URL : https://www.oracle.com/database/ Summary : The Berkeley DB database library for C Description : The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is a programmatic toolkit that provides embedded database support for both traditional and client/server applications.

This update also introduces modified fixes for rhbz#1394862 once again and additionally fixes ppc specific hangs described in rhbz#1460003. Please be aware that this update is expected to cause **DB_VERSION_MISMATCH** errors during installation if you are still running an older release of libdb. These errors are a result of packages calling rpm commands during installation and have so far been found harmless. You can also run into issues with dnf plugins that do the same. As these plugins are run after the rpmtransaction has already gone through successfully they should also be harmless. However, in this case a rebuild of rpmdb's environment will be needed. Detailed information on how to achieve this can be found in the links below.

Use su -c 'dnf upgrade libdb' at the command line.
