This update fixes a local privilege escalation in udev.

  • udev did not check the origin of the netlink messages. A local attacker could fake device create events and so gain root privileges. (CVE-2009-1185)

It also fixes three bugs :

  • Fixup persistent symlinks for tapes. (bnc#446534)

  • Fixup broken ATA compability links. (bnc#447995)

  • Add by-path links for tapes (bnc#478132)
