Security update for calamares
Severity
Moderate
Notes
Title of the patch: Security update for calamares
Description of the patch: This update for calamares fixes the following issues: - Launch with 'pkexec calamares' in openSUSE Tumbleweed, but launch with 'xdg-su -c calamares' in openSUSE Leap 15. Update to Calamares 3.2.15: - 'displaymanager' module now treats 'sysconfig' as a regular entry in the 'displaymanagers' list, and the 'sysconfigSetup' key is used as a shorthand to force only that entry in the list. - 'machineid' module has been re-written in C++ and extended with a new configuration key to generate urandom pool data. - 'unpackfs' now supports a special 'sourcefs' value of file for copying single files (optionally with renaming) or directory trees to the target system. - 'unpackfs' now support an 'exclude' and 'excludeFile' setting for excluding particular files or patters from unpacking. Update to Calamares 3.2.14: - 'locale' module no longer recognizes the legacy GeoIP configuration. This has been deprecated since Calamares 3.2.8 and is now removed. - 'packagechooser' module can now be custom-labeled in the overall progress (left-hand column). - 'displaymanager' module now recognizes KDE Plasma 5.17. - 'displaymanager' module now can handle Wayland sessions and can detect sessions from their .desktop files. - 'unpackfs' now has special handling for sourcefs setting “file”. Update to Calamares 3.2.13. More about upstream changes: https://calamares.io/calamares-3.2.13-is-out/ and https://calamares.io/calamares-3.2.12-is-out/ Update to Calamares 3.2.11: - Fix race condition in modules/luksbootkeyfile/main.py (boo#1140256, CVE-2019-13178) - more about upstream changes in 3.2 versions can be found in https://calamares.io/ and https://github.com/calamares/calamares/releases This update was imported from the openSUSE:Leap:15.1:Update update project.
