SUSE Security Update: Security update for systemd ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2019:0137-1 Rating: important References: #1005023 #1045723 #1076696 #1080919 #1093753 #1101591 #1111498 #1114933 #1117063 #1119971 #1120323 Cross-References: CVE-2018-16864 CVE-2018-16865 CVE-2018-16866 CVE-2018-6954 Affected Products: SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Open Buildservice Development Tools 15 SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Basesystem 15 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has 7 fixes is now available. Description: This update for systemd provides the following fixes: Security issues fixed: - CVE-2018-16864, CVE-2018-16865: Fixed two memory corruptions through attacker-controlled alloca()s (bsc#1120323) - CVE-2018-16866: Fixed an information leak in journald (bsc#1120323) - CVE-2018-6954: Fix mishandling of symlinks present in non-terminal path components (bsc#1080919) - Fixed an issue during system startup in relation to encrypted swap disks (bsc#1119971) Non-security issues fixed: - pam_systemd: Fix 'Cannot create session: Already running in a session' (bsc#1111498) - systemd-vconsole-setup: vconsole setup fails, fonts will not be copied to tty (bsc#1114933) - systemd-tmpfiles-setup: symlinked /tmp to /var/tmp breaking multiple units (bsc#1045723) - Fixed installation issue with /etc/machine-id during update (bsc#1117063) - btrfs: qgroups are assigned to parent qgroups after reboot (bsc#1093753) - logind: Stop managing VT switches if no sessions are registered on that VT. (bsc#1101591) - udev: Downgrade message when settting inotify watch up fails. (bsc#1005023) - udev: Ignore the exit code of systemd-detect-virt for memory hot-add. In SLE-12-SP3, 80-hotplug-cpu-mem.rules has a memory hot-add rule that uses systemd-detect-virt to detect non-zvm environment. The systemd-detect-virt returns exit failure code when it detected _none_ state. The exit failure code causes that the hot-add memory block can not be set to online.
