Fedora 29: Security Advisory FEDORA-2019-27e7b92407 for Switchboard Display

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 : switchboard-plug-display Product : Fedora 29 Version : 2.1.7 Release : 2.fc29 URL : https://github.com/elementary/settings-display Summary : Switchboard Display plug Description : A switchboard plug to show information about displays and to configure them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------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). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: * Tue Apr 16 2019 Adam Williamson - 2.1.7-2 - Rebuild with Meson fix for #1699099 * Sat Apr 6 2019 Fabio Valentini - 2.1.7-1 - Update to version 2.1.7. * Fri Dec 21 2018 Fabio Valentini - 2.1.6-1 - Update to version 2.1.6. * Mon Oct 1 2018 Fabio Valentini - 2.1.5-1 - Update to version2.1.5. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.

Fedora 30 Update: Security Fix for Switchboard Display Plug

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 : switchboard-plug-display Product : Fedora 30 Version : 2.1.7 Release : 2.fc30 URL : https://github.com/elementary/settings-display Summary : Switchboard Display plug Description : A switchboard plug to show information about displays and to configure them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 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 itshouldn't) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
