Fedora 27: systemd Security Update
Summary
systemd is a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts
the rest of the system. It provides aggressive parallelization
capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and
implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control
logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a
replacement for sysvinit. Other parts of this package are a logging daemon,
utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname,
date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users and running
containers and virtual machines, system accounts, runtime directories
and settings, and daemons to manage simple network configuration,
network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name resolution.
- a few memory leaks and unitialized memory accesses - systemd-networkd Remotemust be a unicast address (upstream issue #8088) - add /run/systemd/user to the
unit lookup path (upstream issue #8119) - various fixes for journalctl leaking
file descriptors on very quick file rotation (upstream issues #7998, #8198) -systemd-resolved aborting on malformed packets (upstream issue #7888, oss-fuzz
issue #5465) No need to reboot or logout.
su -c 'dnf upgrade systemd' at the command line.
