Summary

Details

This update for systemd provides the following fixes:

  • CVE-2020-1712 (bsc#bsc#1162108) Fix a heap use-after-free vulnerability, when asynchronous Polkit queries were performed while handling Dbus messages.

  • sd-bus: Deal with cookie overruns. (bsc#1150595)
  • rules: Add by-id symlinks for persistent memory. (bsc#1140631)
  • Drop the old fds used for logging and reopen them in the sub process before doing any new logging. (bsc#1154948)
  • Fix warnings thrown during package installation (bsc#1154043)
  • Fix for systemctl hanging by restart. (bsc#1139459)
  • man: mention that alias names are only effective after 'systemctl enable'. (bsc#1151377)
  • ask-password: improve log message when inotify limit is reached. (bsc#1155574)
  • udevd: wait for workers to finish when exiting. (bsc#1106383)
  • core: fragments of masked units ought not be considered for NeedDaemonReload. (bsc#1156482)
  • udev: fix 'NULL' deref when executing rules. (bsc#1151506)
  • Introduce function for reading virtual files in 'sysfs' and 'procfs'. (bsc#1133495, bsc#1159814)
