    An svc_t (service/sysv) that is in setup, teardown, or cleanup state
    must be ignored by the pidfile plugin for any events regarding PID
    files.  E.g., a setup script for a sysv service may create a PID file
    to alert the system that a setup process for the service is running.

    getty: improve argument handling when launching login
    
    Add explicit argument separator before username to ensure correct
    parsing of the login command regardless of username format.  This
    follows best practices for command execution and prevents unexpected
    behavior when processing special characters in usernames.

    Fix #432: allow services in 'setup' to be stopped

commit b695b46a9d99ce1852cc0144951da986e293d1c8

Date:   Tue Mar 18 07:18:16 2025 +0100

    Revert last part of 91a9c83, fallback SIGKILL when stopping services
    
    When a service is stopped, but does not respond to the default SIGTERM,
    a fallback kicks in after 3 seconds (default) to send SIGKILL.  Since
    91a9c83 (v3.2-rc2) this has however not worked since the signal was
    only sent to the process group.
    
    It is the job of service_monitor(), when it reaps the process leader,
    to forward the signal to the process group.

    Fix #427: make sure first found binary is used as external getty
    
    When using Finit with an external getty that supports alternative login
    program argument, the tty_parse_args() function did not check if a getty
    command had already been registered:
    
        tty [12345] /sbin/agetty -L -l /bin/login console noclear
    
    This caused Finit to try /bin/login as the getty program.

    Wait for post:script and cleanup:script before returning OK
    
    This change introduces two new states for the big Finit state machine:
    runlevel-clean and reload-clean.  Here Finit now waits for any post or
    cleanup script to finish before returning OK to the initctl command.
    
    Additionally, the service state machine has been updated to ensure a
    run/task/sysv/service calls any post or cleanup script before they are
    removed.  A new 'dead' state for svc_t is introduced which any removed
    svc_t ends up in now instead of becing collected from 'halted' state.

    fstab with UUID/LABEL: nofail handling for fsck
    
    add support for 'nofail' fstab option. if present, finit's fsck invocation ignores errors for this device.
    
    this is useful if you have an fstab entry for a device with UUID= or LABEL= which isn't always present and which you'd like to not
    bail on (so you set nofail). in this case finit leaves the presence-or-not decision to fsck, which exits nonzero.
    
    for block devices that are directly listed in fstab this change isn't important, because for such finit looks for the blockdev's existence and skips the fsck if n/a.

    Fix unintended restart of template siblings
    
    Consider the case where container@.conf is an available template.  When
    creating a container@foo.conf it will share the same base .conf as an
    existing container@bar.conf, but we do not expect to restart bar just
    because foo is instantiated.
    
    Up until this change, all template siblings were considered "dirty" if a
    new one was created or updated.  Skipping realpath() for all files that
    have a '@' works around the problem.

    Fix buggy --with-rtc-date=DATE, introduced in Finit v4.4
    
    In 42ef3d3c, for v4.4-rc1, support for setting a custom RTC restore date
    was introduced.  Unfortunately the configure script was wrong and caused
    config.h to contain
    
        #define RTC_TIMESTAMP_CUSTOM "$rtc_date"
    
    instead of
    
        #define RTC_TIMESTAMP_CUSTOM "2023-04-10 14:35:42"
    
    Furthermore, the error handling for strptime() was wrong, so the restore
    date was always reverted to the default.
    
    This patch fixes both issues and extends the DATE of --with-rtc-date to
    also include seconds.

    Fix #418: support systems with a broken RTC
    
    This patch introduces a new configure option --with-rtc-file=FILE.  When
    enabled the RTC plugin detects missing RTC device and falls back to save
    and restore system time from a file instead.  When --with-rtc-file is
    used without an argument the default file is /var/lib/misc/rtc, but the
    feature itself is disabled by default.
    
    The usefulness of this feature may not be obvious at first, but some
    systems are equipped with an RTC that resets to a random date at power
    on.  This can be really bad in the case the date is far in the future,
    because an NTP sync would then cause time skips backwards, which shows
    up in logs and causes a whole lot of pain in alarm systems.
    
    The solution is to disable the RTC driver or device tree node, and when
    Finit starts up, the RTC plugin detects a the device node and instead
    restores time from the last save game.  Meaning time will always only
    move forwards.
    
    NOTE: when Finit is built --with-rtc-file we always save to disk, but
          only restore from the "save game" if restoring from RTC fails.
          If the system has no RTC we always restore from disk.
    
          As an added bonus, this change also makes sure to periodically
          sync also the RTC with the system clock.  Useful for systems
          that do not run an NTP client.

    Only mark rdeps dirty if main service is nohup
    
    This patch changes a behavior that's been default since Finit 4.0,
    introduced in 4d05bf9 with 4.0-rc2.
    
    If service B depends on A and A needs to be reloaded, then B may be
    affected.  If A is declared as NOHUP <!>, then A will be stopped and
    restarted, during which time the condition it provides is removed,
    and B will also be stopped.
    
    However, and as of this patch, if A is declared supporting HUP, then the
    condition A provides will only go into flux, during which time B will be
    SIGSTOPed instead of needing to be reloaded.

2 low-priority security issues in bookworm low

There are 2 open security issues in bookworm.

2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2025-29906: (needs triaging) Finit is a fast init for Linux systems. Versions starting from 3.0-rc1 and prior to version 4.11 bundle an implementation of getty for the `tty` configuration directive that can bypass `/bin/login`, i.e., a user can log in as any user without authentication. This issue has been patched in version 4.11.
  • CVE-2025-32022: (needs triaging) Finit provides fast init for Linux systems. Finit's urandom plugin has a heap buffer overwrite vulnerability at boot which leads to it overwriting other parts of the heap, possibly causing random instabilities and undefined behavior. The urandom plugin is enabled by default, so this bug affects everyone using Finit 4.2 or later that do not explicitly disable the plugin at build time. This bug is fixed in Finit 4.12. Those who cannot upgrade or backport the fix to urandom.c are strongly recommended to disable the plugin in the call to the `configure` script.

You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
