The systemd Project systemd Veröffentlicht: (vor 7 Jahren)

Beschreibung

It was discovered systemd does not correctly check the content of PIDFile files before using it to kill processes. When a service is run from an unprivileged user (e.g. User field set in the service file), a local attacker who is able to write to the PIDFile of the mentioned service may use this flaw to trick systemd into killing other services and/or privileged processes. Versions before v237 are vulnerable.

Schwachstellentyp (CWE): CWE-250

Daten: CVE.org, NVD, CISA KEV, FIRST EPSS, Ubuntu. Wiedergegeben wie in der Quelle, auf Englisch.
