Description of problem: The Nullsoft Scriptable Install System version < 2.50 contains a DLL hijacking attack which allows administrative (root) level access on the target Windows system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mingw32-nsis-2.46-16.fc23.x86_64 Additional info: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/AppendixF.html#v2.50 http://sf.net/p/nsis/bugs/1125
I've upgraded Rawhide to 2.50: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=13039851 Assuming that build works after a bit of testing, I think the best thing will be to upgrade all the other branches to the same version. AFAIK there are no ABI/compatibility problems between 2.46 & 2.50 that would prevent that, at least, nothing jumps out from the release notes except possibly the changed RequestExecutionLevel default.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
