    An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has 17 fixes is now available.

    Description:

    This update for systemd provides several fixes and enhancements.

    Security issues fixed:

    - CVE-2017-9217: Null pointer dereferencing that could lead to resolved
    aborting. (bsc#1040614)
    - CVE-2017-9445: Possible out-of-bounds write triggered by a specially
    crafted TCP payload from a DNS server. (bsc#1045290)

    The update also fixed several non-security bugs:

    - core/mount: Use the "-c" flag to not canonicalize paths when calling
    /bin/umount
    - automount: Handle expire_tokens when the mount unit changes its state
    (bsc#1040942)
    - automount: Rework propagation between automount and mount units
    - build: Make sure tmpfiles.d/systemd-remote.conf get installed when
    necessary
    - build: Fix systemd-journal-upload installation
    - basic: Detect XEN Dom0 as no virtualization (bsc#1036873)
    - virt: Make sure some errors are not ignored
    - fstab-generator: Do not skip Before= ordering for noauto mountpoints
    - fstab-gen: Do not convert device timeout into seconds when initializing
    JobTimeoutSec
    - core/device: Use JobRunningTimeoutSec= for device units (bsc#1004995)
    - fstab-generator: Apply the _netdev option also to device units
    (bsc#1004995)
    - job: Add JobRunningTimeoutSec for JOB_RUNNING state (bsc#1004995)
    - job: Ensure JobRunningTimeoutSec= survives serialization (bsc#1004995)
    - rules: Export NVMe WWID udev attribute (bsc#1038865)
    - rules: Introduce disk/by-id (model_serial) symbolic links for NVMe drives
    - rules: Add rules for NVMe devices
    - sysusers: Make group shadow support configurable (bsc#1029516)
    - core: When deserializing a unit, fully restore its cgroup state
    (bsc#1029102)
    - core: Introduce cg_mask_from_string()/cg_mask_to_string()
    - core:execute: Fix handling failures of calling fork() in exec_spawn()
    (bsc#1040258)
    - Fix systemd-sysv-convert when a package starts shipping service units
    (bsc#982303) The database might be missing when upgrading a package
    which was shipping no sysv init scripts nor unit files (at the time
    --save was called) but the new version start shipping unit files.
    - Disable group shadow support (bsc#1029516)
    - Only check signature job error if signature job exists (bsc#1043758)
    - Automounter issue in combination with NFS volumes (bsc#1040968)
    - Missing symbolic link for SAS device in /dev/disk/by-path (bsc#1040153)
    - Add minimal support for boot.d/* scripts in systemd-sysv-convert
    (bsc#1046750)
