Fedora 29: FEDORA-2019-27e7b92407 Critical: gsconnect security issue

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-shell-extension-gsconnect Product : Fedora 29 Version : 21 Release : 2.fc29 URL : https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect Summary : KDE Connect implementation for GNOME Shell Description : The KDE Connect project allows devices to securely share content such as notifications and files as well as interactive features such as SMS messaging and remote input.
