-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-2557 2012-02-28 09:13:18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : systemd Product : Fedora 16 Version : 37 Release : 15.fc16 URL : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd Summary : A System and Service Manager Description : systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This systemd update adds several fixes: * logind created files under /run/user/ in an insecure manner. A local attacker could create a symlink inside arbitrary directories (CVE-2012-0871). * permissions of PrivateTmp directories (RHBZ#790522) * timedated did not run without ntp installed (RHBZ#790260) * logind: allow PowerOff and Reboot via polkit * loading of empty files in read_one_line_file() (fdo#45362) * fix cgit URLs in manpages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Mar 1 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-15 - logind: move X11 socket * Mon Feb 27 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-14 - A few fixes from upstream: - PrivateTmp permissions (#790522) - timedated without ntp installed (#790260) - logind: allow PowerOff and Reboot via polkit - loading empty files in read_one_line_file() (fdo#45362) - fix cgit URLs in manpages * Thu Feb 9 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-13 - Minor fixes and some manpage updates from upstream. * Sun Jan 29 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-12 - Avoid a glitch with plymouth (#785548). - Fix logind capabilities. * Thu Jan 26 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-11 - Fix automount regression. * Sat Jan 21 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-10 - Fix occasionally failing socket units with Accept=yes (#783344). * Fri Jan 20 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-9 - Fix a crash related to pid file watch and daemon-reload (#783118). - Added Conflicts with known broken spamassassin. * Tue Jan 17 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-8 - Shut up another logind message (#727315). * Sat Jan 14 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-7 - Fix for quota and a couple of other issues. * Wed Jan 11 2012 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-6 - Fixes and low-risk enhancements (no journald) from upstream v38. * Fri Dec 2 2011 Karsten Hopp <karsten@redhat.com> - 37-5 - add upstream patch for bugzilla 744415, encrypted filesystem passphrases fail on runtime systems in hvc consoles * Tue Nov 15 2011 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-4 - Run authconfig if /etc/pam.d/system-auth is not a symlink. - Resolves: #753160 * Wed Nov 2 2011 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-3 - Fix remote-fs-pre.target and its ordering. - Resolves: #749940 * Wed Oct 19 2011 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 37-2 - A couple of fixes from upstream: - Fix a regression in bash-completion reported in Bodhi. - Fix a crash in isolating. - Resolves: #717325 * Tue Oct 11 2011 Lennart Poettering <lpoetter@redhat.com> - 37-1 - New upstream release - Resolves: #744726, #718464, #713567, #713707, #736756 * Thu Sep 29 2011 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> - 36-5 - Undo the workaround.
