Fedora 40 FEDORA-2024-ce2936b568 Moderate: Zram DoS Fix Advisory

fedora
Calendar Grey May 26, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 40 delivers an update that addresses security vulnerabilities and enhances performance in rust-zram-generator, boosting the efficiency of swap operations
This update contains builds from a mini-mass-rebuild for Rust applications (and some C-style libraries)

Summary

This is a systemd unit generator that enables swap on zram.

(With zram, there is no physical swap device. Part of the available RAM

is used to store compressed pages, essentially trading CPU cycles for memory.)

To activate, install zram-generator-defaults subpackage.

Update Information:

This update contains builds from a mini-mass-rebuild for Rust applications (and some C-style libraries). Rebuilding with the Rust 1.78 toolchain should fix incomplete debug information for the Rust standard library (and the resulting low-quality stack traces). Additionally, builds will have picked up fixes for some minor low-priority security and / or safety fixes in crate dependencies that had not yet been handled via a separate (targeted) rebuild: h2 v0.3.26+ (denial-of-service): https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0332.html glib v0.19.4+ and backports (UB): core/pull/1343 hashbrown v0.14.5+ (UB): https://github.com/rust-lang/hashbrown/pull/511 rustls v0.22.4+, v0.21.11+ (denial-of-service): https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0336.html
