Affected Products:

An update that has three fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for multipath-tools fixes the following issues:

  * Fix ALUA asymmetric access state descriptions in multipathd logs, so that
    the same terms are used as by the kernel ("lba-dependent", "transitioning").
  * Don't set a hardware handler for bio-based multipath devices.
  * Fix WWID detection for legacy devices that use the older SCSI-2 VPD page
    0x83 format for their device identifier.
  * kpartx:
    * Fix an integer overflow in the GPT partition table size calculation. (bsc#1268145)
    * Fix several issues in the DASD partition table reader that could be triggered by a maliciously crafted disk image. (bsc#1268144)
  * Fix duplicate "checker timed out" log messages when `log_checker_err` is set
    to `once`. (bsc#1254094)
  * Avoid potential buffer overflows in the iet and datacore prioritizers.
  * iet prioritizer: avoid misleading error message with systemd 256 and newer,
    and properly use udev to derive path parameters.
