Official description
This update for open-iscsi fixes the following issues:
Updated to upstream version 2.1.3 as 2.1.3-suse, for bsc#1179908, including:
- uip: check for TCP urgent pointer past end of frame
- uip: check for u8 overflow when processing TCP options
- uip: check for header length underflow during checksum calculation
- fwparam_ppc: Fix memory leak in fwparam_ppc.c
- iscsiuio: Remove unused macro IFNAMSIZ defined in iscsid_ipc.c
- fwparam_ppc: Fix illegal memory access in fwparam_ppc.c
- sysfs: Verify parameter of sysfs_device_get()
- fwparam_ppc: Fix NULL pointer dereference in find_devtree()
- open-iscsi: Clean user_param list when process exit
- iscsi_net_util: Fix NULL pointer dereference in find_vlan_dev()
- open-iscsi: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mgmt_ipc_read_req()
- open-iscsi: Fix invalid pointer deference in find_initiator()
- iscsiuio: Fix invalid parameter when call fstat()
- iscsi-iname: Verify open() return value before calling read()
- iscsi_sysfs: Fix NULL pointer deference in iscsi_sysfs_read_iface
Updatged to latest upstream, including:
- iscsiadm: Optimize the the verification of mode paramters
- iscsid: Poll timeout value to 1 minute for iscsid
- iscsiadm: fix host stats mode coredump
- iscsid: fix logging level when starting and shutting down daemon
- Updated iscsiadm man page.
- Fix memory leak in sysfs_get_str
- libopeniscsiusr: Compare with max int instead of max long
Systemd unit files should not depend on network.target (bsc#1179440).
Updated to latest upstream, including async login ability:
- Implement login 'no_wait' for iscsiadm NODE mode
- iscsiadm buffer overflow regression when discovering many targets at once
- iscsid: Check Invalid Session id for stop connection
- Add ability to attempt target logins asynchronously
- %service_del_postun_without_restart is now available on SLE More accurately it's been introduced in SLE12-SP2+ and SLE15+
