It was discovered that the systemd-resolved D-Bus interface did not enforce appropriate access controls. A local unprivileged user could exploit this to modify a system’s DNS resolver settings.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
