- What: Red Hat releases a security update for systemd
- Impact: Affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 systems
Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2026:49910 - Security Advisory Issued: 2026-08-04 Updated: 2026-08-04 RHSA-2026:49910 - Security Advisory Overview Updated Packages Synopsis Moderate: systemd security, bug fix, and enhancement update Type/Severity Security Advisory: Moderate Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory. View affected systems Topic An update for systemd is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. Description The systemd packages contain systemd, a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with the SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive parallelism 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. Security Fix(es): systemd: systemd: Arbitrary code execution or Denial of Service via spurious IPC API call data (CVE-2026-29111) Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s): spec: systemd build fails due to rename of rhel-net-naming-sysattrs upstream [rhel-9.6.z] (JIRA:RHEL-150627) fstab-generator: add_swap() does not support _netdev so booting when swap is over iscsi does not take. [rhel-9.6.z] (JIRA:RHEL-166184) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
