Fedora 30: FEDORA-2019-ac2a21ff07 Moderate: gnome-desktop3 SELinux Error

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-ac2a21ff07 2019-04-17 16:04:32.355044 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : gnome-desktop3 Product : Fedora 30 Version : 3.32.1 Release : 2.fc30 URL : https://www.gnome.org/ Summary : Library with common API for various GNOME modules Description : gnome-desktop contains the libgnome-desktop library as well as a data file that exports the "GNOME" version to the Settings Details panel. The libgnome-desktop library provides API shared by several applications on the desktop, but that cannot live in the platform for various reasons. There is no API or ABI guarantee, although we are doing our best to provide stability. Documentation for the API is available with gtk-doc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------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. 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 Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases, those updates have been edited instead). This includes gnome-initial-setup, which was affected by this problem, resulting in a[release-blocking bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099) that prevented it running correctly with SELinux in enforcing mode. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1699099 - gnome-initial-setup 3.32.0+ crashes due to SELinux denials (because it has execstack flag set, because meson 0.50.0 sets it when it shouldn't) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program. Use su -c 'dnf upgrade --advisory FEDORA-2019-ac2a21ff07' at the command line. For more information, refer to the dnf documentation available at https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
