RHBA-2020:2091 - systemd bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

systemd bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

An update for systemd is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

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.

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

• systemd leaks memory (in dbus) and spends its time sending PropertiesChanged notifications (BZ#1817504)

• Lazy setup of inotify_fd in sd-journal may cause clients to leak file descriptors (BZ#1820073)

• [FJ7.7 Bug]: systemd: system shutdown gets hang for 30 minutes when some swap unit fails to stop (BZ#1821261)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
