Description:

 

This update for util-linux fixes a number of bugs and two security issues.

 

The following security bugs were fixed:

 

- CVE-2016-5011: Infinite loop DoS in libblkid while parsing DOS partition

(bsc#988361)

- CVE-2017-2616: In su with PAM support it was possible for local users to

send SIGKILL to selected other processes with root privileges

(bsc#1023041).

 

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

 

- bsc#1008965: Ensure that the option "users,exec,dev,suid" work as

expected on NFS mounts

- bsc#1012504: Fix regressions in safe loop re-use patch set for libmount

- bsc#1012632: Disable ro checks for mtab

- bsc#1020077: fstrim: De-duplicate btrfs sub-volumes for "fstrim -a" and

bind mounts

- bsc#947494: mount -a would fail to recognize btrfs already mounted,

address loop re-use in libmount

- bsc#966891: Conflict in meaning of losetup -L. This switch in SLE12 SP1

and SP2 continues to carry the meaning of --logical-blocksize instead of

upstream --nooverlap

- bsc#978993: cfdisk would mangle some text output

- bsc#982331: libmount: ignore redundant slashes

- bsc#983164: mount uid= and gid= would reject valid non UID/GID values

- bsc#987176: When mounting a subfolder of a CIFS share, mount -a would

show the mount as busy

- bsc#1019332: lscpu: Implement WSL detection and work around crash
