Updated util-linux packages fix security vulnerability

The util-linux libblkid is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack during MSDOS partition table parsing, in the extended partition boot record (EBR). If the next EBR starts at relative offset 0, parse_dos_extended() will loop until running out of memory. An attacker could install a specially crafted MSDOS partition table in a storage device and trick a user into using it. This library is used, among others, by systemd-udevd daemon (CVE-2016-5011).

Security update for util-linux

This update for util-linux fixes a number of bugs and one minor security issue.

The following minor vulnerability was fixed:

  • CVE-2016-5011: Infinite loop DoS in libblkid while parsing DOS partition (bsc#988361)

The following bugs were fixed:

  • bsc#987176: When mounting a subfolder of a CIFS share, mount -a would show the mount as busy
  • 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#994399: Package would trigger conflicts with sysvinit-tools
  • bsc#983164: mount uid= and gid= would reject valid non UID/GID values
  • bsc#978993: cfdisk would mangle some text output
  • bsc#982331: libmount: ignore redundant slashes

Security update for util-linux

This update for util-linux fixes the following issues:

  • Consider redundant slashes when comparing paths (bsc#982331, util-linux-libmount-ignore-redundant-slashes.patch, affects backport of util-linux-libmount-cifs-is_mounted.patch).

  • Use upstream compatibility patches for --show-pt-geometry with obsolescence and deprecation warning (bsc#990531)

  • Replace cifs mount detection patch with upstream one that covers all cases (bsc#987176).

  • Reuse existing loop device to prevent possible data corruption when multiple -o loop are used to mount a single file (bsc#947494)

  • Safe loop re-use in libmount, mount and losetup (bsc#947494)

  • UPSTREAM DIVERGENCE!!! losetup -L continues to use SLE12 SP1 and SP2 specific meaning --logical-blocksize instead of upstream --nooverlap (bsc#966891).

  • Make release-dependent conflict with old sysvinit-tools SLE specific, as it is required only for SLE 11 upgrade, and breaks openSUSE staging builds (bsc#994399).

  • Extended partition loop in MBR partition table leads to DoS (bsc#988361, CVE-2016-5011)
