openSUSE Security Update : systemd (openSUSE-2018-216)

high Nessus Plugin ID 107050

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for systemd fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

- CVE-2017-18078: tmpfiles: refuse to chown()/chmod() files which are hardlinked, unless protected_hardlinks sysctl is on. This could be used by local attackers to gain privileges (bsc#1077925)

Non Security issues fixed :

- core: use id unit when retrieving unit file state (#8038) (bsc#1075801)

- cryptsetup-generator: run cryptsetup service before swap unit (#5480)

- udev-rules: all values can contain escaped double quotes now (#6890)

- strv: fix buffer size calculation in strv_join_quoted()

- tmpfiles: change ownership of symlinks too

- stdio-bridge: Correctly propagate error

- stdio-bridge: remove dead code

- remove bus-proxyd (bsc#1057974)

- core/timer: Prevent timer looping when unit cannot start (bsc#1068588)

- Make systemd-timesyncd use the openSUSE NTP servers by default Previously systemd-timesyncd used the Google Public NTP servers time(1..4).google.com

- Don't ship /usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mnt at all (bsc#1071224) But we still ship a copy in /var. Users who want to use tmpfs on /tmp are supposed to add a symlink in /etc/ pointing to the copy shipped in /var.
To support the update path we automatically create the symlink if tmp.mount in use is located in /usr.

- Enable systemd-networkd on Leap distros only (bsc#1071311)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update update project.

Solution

Update the affected systemd packages.
