Key validity was extended. - Update to version 2.40.2: * cfdisk: fix possible integer overflow * libmount: improving robustness in reading kernel messages, add pidfs to pseudo fs list * lscpu: New Arm Cortex part numbers fix hang of lscpu -e (bsc#1225598) * lsfd: Refactor the pidfd logic, support pidfs * mkswap.8.adoc: update note regarding swapfile creation * setpgid: make -f work - Enable kernel mountfd API, as it should be already stable (PED-9752). - Move autoreconf back to %build. - Add devel dependencies. - Remove util-linux-rpmlintrc. It is no more needed with multibuild. - uncomment "autoreconf --install" to use the new version of automake - disable libmagic in more(1) for binary detection (bsc#1225197) - add support for pidfs in kernel 6.9 (bsc#1224285) - Update to version 2.40.1: * more: clean processes not cleaned up after failed SSH session using up 100% CPU (bsc#1220117) * CVE-2024-28085: Fixed improper neutralization of escape sequences in wall (bsc#1221831) * chcpu: document limitations of -g (bsc#1218609) * lscpu: even more Arm part numbers (bsc#1223605) The CVRF data is provided by SUSE under the Creative Commons License 4.0 with Attribution (CC-BY-4.0).
