SUSE: 2019:0053-1 Important: systemd Memory Corruption Threats

An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has one errata is now available. . SUSE Security Update: Security update for systemd ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2019:0053-1 Rating: important References: #1068588 #1071558 #1113665 #1120323 Cross-References: CVE-2018-15686 CVE-2018-16864 CVE-2018-16865 Affected Products: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-LTSS ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has one errata is now available. Description: This update for systemd fixes the following issues: * Fix security vulnerabilities CVE-2018-16864 and CVE-2018-16865 (bsc#1120323): Both issues were memory corruptions via attacker-controlled alloca which could have been used to gain root privileges by a local attacker. * Fix security vulnerability CVE-2018-15686 (bsc#1113665): A vulnerability in unit_deserialize of systemd used to allow an attacker to supply arbitrary state across systemd re-execution via NotifyAccess. This could have been used to improperly influence systemd execution and possibly lead to root privilege escalation. * Remedy 2048 character line-length limit in systemd-sysctl code that would cause parser failures if /etc/sysctl.conf contained lines that exceeded this length (bsc#1071558). * Fix a bug in systemd's core timer code that would cause timer looping under certain conditions, resulting in hundreds of syslog messages being written to the journal (bsc#1068588). Patch Instructions: To install this SUSE Security Update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch". Alternatively you can run the command listed for your product: - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-LTSS: zypper in -t patch SUSE-SLE-SERVER-12-2019-53=1 PackageList: - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-LTSS (ppc64le s390x x86_64): libgudev-1_0-0-210-70.74.1 libgudev-1_0-0-debuginfo-210-70.74.1 libgudev-1_0-devel-210-70.74.1 libudev-devel-210-70.74.1 libudev1-210-70.74.1 libudev1-debuginfo-210-70.74.1 systemd-210-70.74.1 systemd-debuginfo-210-70.74.1 systemd-debugsource-210-70.74.1 systemd-devel-210-70.74.1 systemd-sysvinit-210-70.74.1 typelib-1_0-GUdev-1_0-210-70.74.1 udev-210-70.74.1 udev-debuginfo-210-70.74.1 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-LTSS (s390x x86_64): libgudev-1_0-0-32bit-210-70.74.1 libgudev-1_0-0-debuginfo-32bit-210-70.74.1 libudev1-32bit-210-70.74.1 libudev1-debuginfo-32bit-210-70.74.1 systemd-32bit-210-70.74.1 systemd-debuginfo-32bit-210-70.74.1 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-LTSS (noarch): systemd-bash-completion-210-70.74.1 References: https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2018-15686.html https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2018-16864.html https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2018-16865.html https://bugzilla.suse.com/1068588 https://bugzilla.suse.com/1071558 https://bugzilla.suse.com/1113665 https://bugzilla.suse.com/1120323 _______________________________________________ sle-security-updates mailing list This email address is being protected from spambots.
