systemd: systemd: Privilege escalation via improper access control in RegisterMachine D-Bus method

A flaw was found in systemd. The systemd-machined service contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability due to insufficient validation of the class parameter in the RegisterMachine D-Bus Desktop Bus method. A local unprivileged user can exploit this by attempting to register a machine with a...

systemd: udev in systemd: Privilege escalation via malicious hardware devices and unsanitized kernel output

A flaw was found in udev in systemd. A local user with access to malicious hardware devices can exploit this vulnerability. By providing unsanitized kernel output, the flaw allows for local root execution, leading to privilege escalation...

systemd: systemd: Denial of Service via malicious IPC API call with null element

A flaw was found in systemd. A local unprivileged user can exploit this vulnerability by making an Inter-Process Communication IPC API call with a specially crafted array or map containing a null element. This can trigger an assert, leading to a Denial of Service DoS condition, which makes the...

systemd: systemd-journald: Unintended output to user terminals via logger command

A flaw was found in systemd-journald. When the ForwardToWall=yes configuration is enabled, a local user who executes a logger -p emerg command can cause systemd-journald to send ANSI escape sequences to the terminals of other arbitrary users. This can lead to unintended output appearing on user...

systemd: systemd: Arbitrary code execution or Denial of Service via spurious IPC API call data

A flaw was found in systemd, a system and service manager. An unprivileged user can exploit this vulnerability by making an Inter-Process Communication IPC API call with spurious data. In older versions v249 and earlier, this can lead to stack overwriting with attacker-controlled content,...

systemd: systemd: Local unprivileged user can cause Denial of Service

A flaw was found in systemd, a core component of Linux operating systems. A local user, without special privileges, can exploit this vulnerability. By manipulating a specific systemd unit configuration where delegation is enabled and the user is not set, the user can trigger an internal error,...
