Issue Overview:
It was discovered that systemd is vulnerable to a state injection attack when deserializing the state of a service. Properties longer than LINE_MAX are not correctly parsed and an attacker may abuse this flaw in particularly configured services to inject, change, or corrupt the service state. (CVE-2018-15686)
An out of bounds read was discovered in systemd-journald in the way it parses log messages that terminate with a colon ‘:’. A local attacker can use this flaw to disclose process memory data. (CVE-2018-16866)
A memory leak was discovered in the systemd-login when a power-switch event is received. A physical attacker may trigger one of these events and leak bytes due to a missing free. (CVE-2019-20386)
A memory leak was discovered in the backport of fixes for CVE-2018-16864 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Function dispatch_message_real() in journald-server.c does not free the memory allocated by set_iovec_field_free() to store the _CMDLINE=
entry. A local attacker may use this flaw to make systemd-journald crash. (CVE-2019-3815)
