This update for systemd fixes the following issues :

Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2018-15688: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the     dhcp6 client of systemd allowed a malicious dhcp6 server     to overwrite heap memory in systemd-networkd.
    (bsc#1113632)

  - CVE-2018-15686: A vulnerability in unit_deserialize of     systemd allows an attacker to supply arbitrary state     across systemd re-execution via NotifyAccess. This can     be used to improperly influence systemd execution and     possibly lead to root privilege escalation.
    (bsc#1113665)

Non security issues fixed :

  - dhcp6: split assert_return() to be more debuggable when     hit

  - core: skip unit deserialization and move to the next one     when unit_deserialize() fails

  - core: properly handle deserialization of unknown unit     types (#6476)

  - core: don't create Requires for workdir if 'missing ok'     (bsc#1113083)

  - logind: use manager_get_user_by_pid() where appropriate

  - logind: rework manager_get_(user|session)_by_pid() a bit

  - login: fix user@.service case, so we don't allow nested     sessions (#8051) (bsc#1112024)

  - core: be more defensive if we can't determine     per-connection socket peer (#7329)

  - core: introduce systemd.early_core_pattern= kernel     cmdline option

  - core: add missing 'continue' statement

  - core/mount: fstype may be NULL

  - journald: don't ship systemd-journald-audit.socket     (bsc#1109252)

  - core: make 'tmpfs' dependencies on swapfs a 'default'     dep, not an 'implicit' (bsc#1110445)

  - mount: make sure we unmount tmpfs mounts before we     deactivate swaps (#7076)

  - detect-virt: do not try to read all of /proc/cpuinfo     (bsc#1109197)

  - emergency: make sure console password agents don't     interfere with the emergency shell

  - man: document that 'nofail' also has an effect on     ordering

  - journald: take leading spaces into account in     syslog_parse_identifier

  - journal: do not remove multiple spaces after identifier     in syslog message

  - syslog: fix segfault in syslog_parse_priority()

  - journal: fix syslog_parse_identifier()

  - install: drop left-over debug message (#6913)

  - Ship systemd-sysv-install helper via the main package     This script was part of systemd-sysvinit sub-package but     it was wrong since systemd-sysv-install is a script used     to redirect enable/disable operations to chkconfig when     the unit targets are sysv init scripts. Therefore it's     never been a SySV init tool.

  - Add udev.no-partlabel-links kernel command-line option.
    This option can be used to disable the generation of the     by-partlabel symlinks regardless of the name used.
    (bsc#1089761)

  - man: SystemMaxUse= clarification in journald.conf(5).
    (bsc#1101040)

  - systemctl: load unit if needed in 'systemctl is-active'     (bsc#1102908)

  - core: don't freeze OnCalendar= timer units when the     clock goes back a lot (bsc#1090944)

  - Enable or disable machines.target according to the     presets (bsc#1107941)

  - cryptsetup: add support for sector-size= option     (fate#325697)

  - nspawn: always use permission mode 555 for /sys     (bsc#1107640)

  - Bugfix for a race condition between daemon-reload and     other commands (bsc#1105031)

  - Fixes an issue where login with root credentials was not     possible in init level 5 (bsc#1091677)

  - Fix an issue where services of type 'notify' harmless     DENIED log entries. (bsc#991901)

  - Does no longer adjust qgroups on existing subvolumes     (bsc#1093753)

  - cryptsetup: add support for sector-size= option (#9936)     (fate#325697 bsc#1114135)
