[systemd-devel] Port 231 security patch to 213

[Jay Burger]

Christian,

I am using a Yocto distribution "daisy" which is on version 211, they have
provided recipe updates to what they call systemd 213.

I am referring to the patch as discussed on the following site:

https://threatpost.com/hack-crashes-linux-distros-with-48-characters-of-code/121052/

This claims the problem began is version 209.

I found the systemd-231-security_fix-1.patch on this page but am not sure if it 
applies.

Thanks for your help.
