security advisorysoftware updateFedoraFedora 29: FEDORA-2019-27e7b92407 Moderate: Meson Bug 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 : meson Product : Fedora 29 Version : 0.50.0 Release : 4.fc29 URL : https://mesonbuild.com/ Summary : High productivity build system Description : Meson is a build system designed to optimize programmer productivity.
