This update fixes a possible symlink attack on the debug log merkaartor.log by no longer writing it out by default.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
