Description:

This update for s390-tools provides the following fixes:

  • Replace plain text passwords collected by dbginfo.sh with asterisks. (bsc#965337)
  • Grant access to data collected by dbginfo.sh only to root user. (bsc#965337)
  • Fix chmem's memory block number calculation with memory holes. (bsc#965337)
  • Added 59-prng.rules so that /dev/prandom will have permissions of 0444. This allows anyone to access the CPACF hardware pseudo-random number generator. (bsc#965288)
  • Updated zfcp_disk_configure to correct a reference to non-existent variable _zfcp_scsi_id to _zfcp_target_id. (bsc#957168)
