Original advisory details:

Ā Jann Horn discovered that unit_deserialize incorrectly handled status
messages
Ā above a certain length. A local attacker could potentially exploit this via
Ā NotifyAccess to inject arbitrary state across re-execution and obtain root
Ā privileges. (CVE-2018-15686)
Ā 
Ā Jann Horn discovered a race condition in chown_one(). A local attacker
Ā could potentially exploit this by setting arbitrary permissions on certain
Ā files to obtain root privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Ā and Ubuntu 18.10. (CVE-2018-15687)
Ā 
Ā It was discovered that systemd-tmpfiles mishandled symlinks in
Ā non-terminal path components. A local attacker could potentially exploit
Ā this by gaining ownership of certain files to obtain root privileges. This
Ā issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-6954)");
