Please remember that F21 has reached End of Life and is *not* supported by fedoraproject.org Though these packages may fix a very critical CVE, we cannot guarantee that CVEs in other packages are also fixed. So no warranties from fp.o if you keep using F21 with or without these packages. /me removing his FESCO member hat Thank you Kevin for your effort to provided a very critical bugfix to people who may use F21, though they shouldn't. At least, I appreciate that you shared your efforts with a larger set of people.
