SUSE Security Update: Security update for systemd
______________________________________________________________________________
Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2019:0053-1
Rating: important
References: #1068588 #1071558 #1113665 #1120323
Cross-References: CVE-2018-15686 CVE-2018-16864 CVE-2018-16865
Affected Products:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-LTSS
______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has one
errata is now available.
Description:
This update for systemd fixes the following issues:
* Fix security vulnerabilities CVE-2018-16864 and CVE-2018-16865
(bsc#1120323): Both issues were memory corruptions via
attacker-controlled alloca which could have been used to gain root
privileges by a local attacker.
* Fix security vulnerability CVE-2018-15686 (bsc#1113665): A vulnerability
in unit_deserialize of systemd used to allow an attacker to supply
arbitrary state across systemd re-execution via NotifyAccess. This could
have been used to improperly influence systemd execution and possibly
lead to root privilege escalation.
* Remedy 2048 character line-length limit in systemd-sysctl code that
would cause parser failures if /etc/sysctl.conf contained lines that
exceeded this length (bsc#1071558).
* Fix a bug in systemd's core timer code that would cause timer looping
under certain conditions, resulting in hundreds of syslog messages being
written to the journal (bsc#1068588).
Patch Instructions:

like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
