systemd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated systemd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 Extended Update Support.
Description
The systemd packages contain systemd, a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with the SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, and keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups. In addition, it supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can also work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, memory used by arrays of string arguments was not freed. Consequently, systemd resident memory usage grew over time, especially on systems with many users logging in and out. With this update, memory occupied by string arrays is freed, and systemd resident memory usage no longer increases due to this bug. (BZ#1368373)
Users of systemd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
