I'm currently doing a security audit on all my LFS systems and I found
that one is running udev-181. The question is: are there any security
issues linked with that version of udev? I've searched the Web and I
haven't found anything untoward, but maybe somebody here knows better.
The system runs OK.
It's really hard to say since udev was merged with systemd, the issues are
just lumped together.
You probably could update to eudev without problems.
From what I can see udev has a different structure from eudev, for
example, I can't see any udev hwdb files. Is that going to cause me
problems or is it hard to say?
My system has /etc/udev/hwdb.bin:
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 6.5M Sep 7 18:02 hwdb.bin
