3. Description:

The systemd packages contain systemd, a system and service manager for
Linux, compatible with the SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides
aggressive parallelism capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for
starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, and keeps track of
processes using Linux cgroups. In addition, it supports snapshotting and
restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points, and
implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control
logic. It can also work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw was found in the way systemd handled empty notification messages.
A local attacker could use this flaw to make systemd freeze its execution,
preventing further management of system services, system shutdown, or
zombie process collection via systemd. (CVE-2016-7795)

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, the udev device manager automatically enabled all memory
banks on IBM z System installations. As a consequence, hot plug memory was
enabled automatically, which was incorrect. With this update, system
architecture checks have been added to the udev rules to address the
problem. As a result, hot plug memory is no longer automatically enabled.
(BZ#1381123)
