    <p>This update for multipath-tools fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fix ALUA asymmetric access state descriptions in multipathd logs, so that
  the same terms are used as by the kernel ("lba-dependent", "transitioning").</li>
<li>Don&#x27;t set a hardware handler for bio-based multipath devices.</li>
<li>Fix WWID detection for legacy devices that use the older SCSI-2 VPD page
  0x83 format for their device identifier.</li>
<li>kpartx:<ul>
<li>Fix an integer overflow in the GPT partition table size calculation. (bsc#1268145)</li>
<li>Fix several issues in the DASD partition table reader that could be
  triggered by a maliciously crafted disk image. (bsc#1268144)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fix duplicate "checker timed out" log messages when <code>log_checker_err</code> is
  set to <code>once</code>. (bsc#1254094)</li>
<li>Avoid potential buffer overflows in the iet and datacore prioritizers.</li>
<li>iet prioritizer: avoid misleading error message with systemd 256 and
  newer, and properly use udev to derive path parameters.</li>
</ul>
