DLA 1762-2: systemd regression update

Package : systemd
Version : 215-17+deb8u13


In the recently uploaded systemd security update (215-17+deb8u12 via
DLA-1762-1), a regression was discovered in the fix for CVE-2017-18078.

The observation of Debian jessie LTS users was, that after upgrading to
+deb8u12 temporary files would not have the correct ownerships and
permissions anymore (instead of a file being owned by a specific user
and/or group, files were being owned by root:root; setting POSIX file
permissions (rwx, etc.) was also affected).


For Debian 8 "Jessie", this regression problem has been fixed in version
215-17+deb8u13.

We recommend that you upgrade your systemd packages.

signatures being spoofed for arbitrary messages using a specially
crafted HTML email. This issue was mitigated by moving the security
bar with encryption and signature information above the message headers.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+deb8u1.
