<summary>Security update for multipath-tools</summary>
<description>This update for multipath-tools fixes the following issues:
- CVE-2022-41973: Fixed a symlink attack in multipathd. (bsc#1202739)
- CVE-2022-41974: Fixed an authorization bypass issue in multipathd. (bsc#1202739)
- Avoid linking to libreadline to avoid licensing issue (bsc#1202616)
- multipathd: add "force_reconfigure" option (bsc#1189551)
The command "multipathd -kreconfigure" changes behavior: instead
of reloading every map, it checks map configuration and reloads
only modified maps. This speeds up the reconfigure operation
substantially. The old behavior can be reinstated by setting
"force_reconfigure yes" in multipath.conf (not recommended).
Note: "force_reconfigure yes" is not supported in SLE15-SP4 and
beyond, which provide the command "multipathd -k'reconfigure all'"
- multipathd: avoid stalled clients during reconfigure (bsc#1189551)
- multipathd: handle client disconnect correctly (bsc#1189551)
