| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'systemd' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2019:0053-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
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).
Affected Software/OS:
'systemd' package(s) on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.
Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
