libblkid: open device in nonblock mode. (bsc#1084671)

udev/cdrom_id: Do not open CD-rom in exclusive mode. (bsc#1154256)

bus_open leak sd_event_source when udevadm triggerÃ£ÂÂ (bsc#1161436 CVE-2019-20386)

fileio: introduce read_full_virtual_file() for reading virtual files in sysfs, procfs (bsc#1133495 bsc#1159814)

fileio: initialize errno to zero before we do fread()

fileio: try to read one byte too much in read_full_stream()

logind: consider 'greeter' sessions suitable as 'display' sessions of a user (bsc#1158485)

logind: never elect a session that is stopping as display

journal: include kmsg lines from the systemd process which exec()d us (#8078)

udevd: don't use monitor after manager_exit()

udevd: capitalize log messages in on_sigchld()

udevd: merge conditions to decrease indentation

Revert 'udevd: fix crash when workers time out after exit is signal caught'

core: fragments of masked units ought not be considered for NeedDaemonReload (#7060) (bsc#1156482)

udevd: fix crash when workers time out after exit is signal caught

udevd: wait for workers to finish when exiting (bsc#1106383)

Improve bash completion support (bsc#1155207)

- shell-completion: systemctl: do not list template units in {re,}start

- shell-completion: systemctl: pass current word to all list_unit*

- bash-completion: systemctl: pass current partial unit to list-unit* (bsc#1155207)

- bash-completion: systemctl: use systemctl --no-pager

- bash-completion: also suggest template unit files

- bash-completion: systemctl: add missing options and verbs

- bash-completion: use the first argument instead of the global variable (#6457)

networkd: VXLan Make group and remote variable separate (bsc#1156213)

networkd: vxlan require Remote= to be a non multicast address (#8117) (bsc#1156213)

fs-util: let's avoid unnecessary strerror()

fs-util: introduce inotify_add_watch_and_warn() helper

ask-password: improve log message when inotify limit is reached (bsc#1155574)

shared/install: failing with -ELOOP can be due to the use of an alias in install_error() (bsc#1151377)

man: alias names can't be used with enable command (bsc#1151377)

Add boot option to not use swap at system start (jsc#SLE-7689)

Allow YaST to select Iranian (Persian, Farsi) keyboard layout (bsc#1092920)

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