openSUSE Security Update : util-linux (openSUSE-2016-1446)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 95752

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for util-linux fixes the following issues :

- Consider redundant slashes when comparing paths (bsc#982331, util-linux-libmount-ignore-redundant-slashes.patch, affects backport of util-linux-libmount-cifs-is_mounted.patch).

- Use upstream compatibility patches for
--show-pt-geometry with obsolescence and deprecation warning (bsc#990531)

- Replace cifs mount detection patch with upstream one that covers all cases (bsc#987176).

- Reuse existing loop device to prevent possible data corruption when multiple -o loop are used to mount a single file (bsc#947494)

- Safe loop re-use in libmount, mount and losetup (bsc#947494)

- UPSTREAM DIVERGENCE!!! losetup -L continues to use SLE12 SP1 and SP2 specific meaning

--logical-blocksize instead of upstream --nooverlap (bsc#966891).

- Make release-dependent conflict with old sysvinit-tools SLE specific, as it is required only for SLE 11 upgrade, and breaks openSUSE staging builds (bsc#994399).

- Extended partition loop in MBR partition table leads to DoS (bsc#988361, CVE-2016-5011)

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