A new version of Setup (2.930) has been uploaded to:
https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe (64 bit version)
https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe (32 bit version)
Changes compared to 2.929:
- Add some hardening against "DLL hijacking" attacks (Thanks to Corinna
Vinschen for doing all the thinking involved)
Briefly, these attacks involve tricking you into downloading a malicious
DLL with the same name as a Windows system DLL into the same directory
you download and then run setup from.
