Name : systemd
Product : Fedora 33
Version : 246.15
Release : 1.fc33
URL :

Summary : System and Service Manager
Description :
systemd is a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts
the rest of the system. It provides aggressive parallelization
capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and
implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control
logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a
replacement for sysvinit. Other parts of this package are a logging daemon,
utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname,
date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users, system accounts,
runtime directories and settings, and daemons to manage simple network
configuration, network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name
resolution.
This package was built from the 246.15-stable branch of systemd.

- Various correctness and potential crash fixes (systemd-journald, udev,
systemctl, systemd, systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-resolved) - Better handling of
very long sysfs paths - Compilation fixes for updated glibc and kernel headers -
Addition of new syscalls to seccomp filters - Latvian and Spanish/Dvorak
keyboard mappings - Shell completion fixes - Ignore FORCERENEW DHCP messages in
systemd-networkd (TALOS-2020-1142, CVE-2020-13529, #1959398) - by-uuid symlinks
for ubifs volumes are now created - CVE-2021-33910, #1984020: an unchecked stack
allocation could be used to crash systemd and cause the system to reboot by
creating a very long fuse mountpoint path. No need to log out or reboot.
