Stack overflow vulnerability when receiving many journald entries| ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:50169 | Date: (C)2019-01-11 (M)2023-12-20 |
| Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
An allocation of memory without limits, that could result in the stack clashing with another memory region, was discovered in systemd-journald when many entries are sent to the journal socket. A local attacker, or a remote one if systemd-journal-remote is used, may use this flaw to crash systemd-journald or execute code with journald privileges.
