Title:openSUSE: Security Advisory for systemd (openSUSE-SU-2016:2522-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'systemd'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'systemd'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This update for systemd fixes the following issues:

- CVE-2016-7796: A zero-length message received over systemd's
notification socket could make manager_dispatch_notify_fd() return an
error and, as a side effect, disable the notification handler
completely. As the notification socket is world-writable, this could
have allowed a local user to perform a denial-of-service attack against
systemd. (bsc#1001765)

Additionally, the following non-security fixes are included:

- Fix HMAC calculation when appending a data object to journal.
(bsc#1000435)

- Never accept file descriptors from file systems with mandatory locking
enabled. (bsc#954374)

- Do not warn about missing install info with 'preset'. (bsc#970293)

- Save /run/systemd/users/UID before starting user@.service. (bsc#996269)

- Make sure that /var/lib/systemd/sysv-convert/database is always
initialized. (bsc#982211)

Affected Software/OS:
systemd on openSUSE 13.2

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
