Fedora 30 : 1:grub2 / systemd (2019-616045ca76)

high Nessus Plugin ID 124496

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

In systemd: backport of bunch of patches from the v242 release. Most important :

 - kernel-install will not create the boot loader entry automatically

 - a memory leak is fixed.

In grub2 :

 - 10_linux_bls: don't add --users option to generated menu entries (#1693515)

 - Only set blsdir if /boot/loader/entries is in a btrfs or zfs partition (#1688453)

 - Fix some BLS snippets not being displayed in the GRUB menu (#1691232)

 - Never remove boot loader configuration for other boot loaders from the ESP (#1648907)

 - Do not mask systemd's kernel-install scriptlets.

No need to log out or reboot.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected 1:grub2 and / or systemd packages.
