Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2013:0626-1
Rating: low
References: #738865 #742884 #783592 #804800
Affected Products:

______________________________________________________________________________
An update that has four recommended fixes can now be
installed.
Description:
This update for Kdump provides the following fixes and
enhancements:
* In multipath setups, make sure that only devices
actually required by kdump are initialized in kdump
environment. This reduces run-time memory requirements.
(bnc#738865)
* Add a new configuration option to set the number of
CPUs that will be available in the Kdump environment. On
SMP systems, makedumpfile will then enable the split mode
to dump data to multiple DUMPFILEs in parallel. (bnc#783592)
* Close a race condition between creating the kdump
initrd and restricting its file permissions to avoid
leaking sensitive information, such as private keys or
passwords needed to save a dump to a remote system.
(bnc#742884)
* Do not set up iommu pass-through for the kdump
kernel. (bnc#804800)
