1 CVE-2023-26604 Exec Code 2023-03-03 2023-05-05
0.0
None ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
systemd before 247 does not adequately block local privilege escalation for some Sudo configurations, e.g., plausible sudoers files in which the "systemctl status" command may be executed. Specifically, systemd does not set LESSSECURE to 1, and thus other programs may be launched from the less program. This presents a substantial security risk when running systemctl from Sudo, because less executes as root when the terminal size is too small to show the complete systemctl output.
2 CVE-2022-45873 400 2022-11-23 2023-03-01
0.0
None ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
systemd 250 and 251 allows local users to achieve a systemd-coredump deadlock by triggering a crash that has a long backtrace. This occurs in parse_elf_object in shared/elf-util.c. The exploitation methodology is to crash a binary calling the same function recursively, and put it in a deeply nested directory to make its backtrace large enough to cause the deadlock. This must be done 16 times when MaxConnections=16 is set for the systemd/units/systemd-coredump.socket file.
3 CVE-2022-4415 +Info 2023-01-11 2023-02-02
0.0
None ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
A vulnerability was found in systemd. This security flaw can cause a local information leak due to systemd-coredump not respecting the fs.suid_dumpable kernel setting.
4 CVE-2022-3821 193 DoS 2022-11-08 2023-05-03
0.0
None ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
An off-by-one Error issue was discovered in Systemd in format_timespan() function of time-util.c. An attacker could supply specific values for time and accuracy that leads to buffer overrun in format_timespan(), leading to a Denial of Service.
5 CVE-2021-33910 770 2021-07-20 2022-06-14
4.9
None Local Low Not required None None Complete
basic/unit-name.c in systemd prior to 246.15, 247.8, 248.5, and 249.1 has a Memory Allocation with an Excessive Size Value (involving strdupa and alloca for a pathname controlled by a local attacker) that results in an operating system crash.
6 CVE-2021-3997 674 DoS 2022-08-23 2023-05-03
0.0
None ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
A flaw was found in systemd. An uncontrolled recursion in systemd-tmpfiles may lead to a denial of service at boot time when too many nested directories are created in /tmp.
7 CVE-2020-13776 269 2020-06-03 2022-01-31
6.2
None Local High Not required Complete Complete Complete
systemd through v245 mishandles numerical usernames such as ones composed of decimal digits or 0x followed by hex digits, as demonstrated by use of root privileges when privileges of the 0x0 user account were intended. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-1000082.
8 CVE-2020-1712 416 Exec Code 2020-03-31 2022-11-29
4.6
None Local Low Not required Partial Partial Partial
A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in systemd before version v245-rc1, where asynchronous Polkit queries are performed while handling dbus messages. A local unprivileged attacker can abuse this flaw to crash systemd services or potentially execute code and elevate their privileges, by sending specially crafted dbus messages.
9 CVE-2019-20386 401 2020-01-21 2022-01-28
2.1
None Local Low Not required None None Partial
An issue was discovered in button_open in login/logind-button.c in systemd before 243. When executing the udevadm trigger command, a memory leak may occur.
10 CVE-2019-3844 268 2019-04-26 2022-01-31
4.6
None Local Low Not required Partial Partial Partial
It was discovered that a systemd service that uses DynamicUser property can get new privileges through the execution of SUID binaries, which would allow to create binaries owned by the service transient group with the setgid bit set. A local attacker may use this flaw to access resources that will be owned by a potentially different service in the future, when the GID will be recycled.
11 CVE-2019-3843 269 2019-04-26 2022-01-31
4.6
None Local Low Not required Partial Partial Partial
It was discovered that a systemd service that uses DynamicUser property can create a SUID/SGID binary that would be allowed to run as the transient service UID/GID even after the service is terminated. A local attacker may use this flaw to access resources that will be owned by a potentially different service in the future, when the UID/GID will be recycled.
12 CVE-2019-3842 863 2019-04-09 2022-01-31
4.4
None Local Medium Not required Partial Partial Partial
In systemd before v242-rc4, it was discovered that pam_systemd does not properly sanitize the environment before using the XDG_SEAT variable. It is possible for an attacker, in some particular configurations, to set a XDG_SEAT environment variable which allows for commands to be checked against polkit policies using the "allow_active" element rather than "allow_any".
13 CVE-2018-21029 295 2019-10-30 2022-07-08
7.5
None Remote Low Not required Partial Partial Partial
** DISPUTED ** systemd 239 through 245 accepts any certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority for DNS Over TLS. Server Name Indication (SNI) is not sent, and there is no hostname validation with the GnuTLS backend. NOTE: This has been disputed by the developer as not a vulnerability since hostname validation does not have anything to do with this issue (i.e. there is no hostname to be sent).
14 CVE-2018-16888 269 2019-01-14 2022-01-31
1.9
None Local Medium Not required None None Partial
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.
15 CVE-2018-16866 200 +Info 2019-01-11 2023-02-13

21 CVE-2018-6954 59 2018-02-13 2022-01-31
7.2
None Local Low Not required Complete Complete Complete
systemd-tmpfiles in systemd through 237 mishandles symlinks present in non-terminal path components, which allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via vectors involving creation of a directory and a file under that directory, and later replacing that directory with a symlink. This occurs even if the fs.protected_symlinks sysctl is turned on.
22 CVE-2018-1049 362 DoS 2018-02-16 2022-01-31
4.3
None Remote Medium Not required None None Partial
In systemd prior to 234 a race condition exists between .mount and .automount units such that automount requests from kernel may not be serviced by systemd resulting in kernel holding the mountpoint and any processes that try to use said mount will hang. A race condition like this may lead to denial of service, until mount points are unmounted.
