This update for systemd fixes the following security issue :
CVE-2016-7796: A zero-length message received over systemd’s notification socket could make manager_dispatch_notify_fd() return an error and, as a side effect, disable the notification handler completely. As the notification socket is world-writable, this could have allowed a local user to perform a denial-of-service attack against systemd.
(bsc#1001765) Additionally, the following non-security fixes are included :
Fix HMAC calculation when appending a data object to journal. (bsc#1000435)
Never accept file descriptors from file systems with mandatory locking enabled. (bsc#954374)
Do not warn about missing install info with ‘preset’.
(bsc#970293)
Save /run/systemd/users/UID before starting [email protected]. (bsc#996269)
Make sure that /var/lib/systemd/sysv-convert/database is always initialized. (bsc#982211)
Remove daylight saving time handling and tzfile parser.
(bsc#990074)
Make sure directory watch is started before cryptsetup.
(bsc#987173)
Introduce sd_pid_notify() and sd_pid_notifyf() APIs.
(bsc#987857)
Set KillMode=mixed for our daemons that fork worker processes.
Add nosuid and nodev options to tmp.mount.
Don’t start console-getty.service when /dev/console is missing. (bsc#982251)
Correct segmentation fault in udev/path_id due to missing NULL check. (bsc#982210)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
