This update for dracut fixes the following issues:
Security issues fixed:
- CVE-2016-8637: When the early microcode loading was enabled during initrd creation, the initrd
would be read-only available for all users, allowing local users to retrieve secrets stored in
the initial ramdisk. (bsc#1008340)
Non-security issues fixed:
- Skip iBFT discovery for qla4xxx flashnode session. (bsc#935320)
- Set MTU and LLADDR for DHCP if specified. (bsc#959803)
- Allow booting from degraded MD arrays with systemd. (bsc#1017695)
- Start multipath services before local-fs-pre.target. (bsc#1005410, bsc#1006118, bsc#1007925,
bsc#986734, bsc#986838)
- Fixed /sbin/installkernel to handle kernel packages built with 'make bin-rpmpkg'. (bsc#1008648)
- Fixed typo in installkernel script. (bsc#1032576)
- Fixed subnet calculation in mkinitrd. (bsc#1035743)
