Fedora – Security Updates

Fedora 21 Security Update: fedup-0.9.0-2.fc21

Resolved Bugs
1159292 – Machine automatically shutdown during upgrade in less than 15 minutes
1038413 – fedup stage2 keymap will always be US again for F20-F21 due to anaconda not writing vconsole.keymap kernel parameter any more (#1035316)
1153816 – Fedup needs to support upgrading into a Productized Fedora 21
1066679 – CVE-2013-6494 fedup: /var/tmp/fedora-upgrade temporary directory creation vulnerability<br
This update works around a serious problem in Fedora 21 Beta which makes systems automatically shut down 15 minutes into the upgrade.
Other improvements:
* Adds `–product=PRODUCT` flag, required for upgrades to F21
* Uses host’s config files in `upgrade.img`, which should fix various upgrade problems (e.g. incorrect keyboard layout when unlocking disks due to missing `vconsole.conf`)
* Logging improvements: complete upgrade log should appear in system journal
