CVE-2021-33910 4 Debian, Fedoraproject, Netapp and 1 more 5 Debian Linux, Fedora, Hci Management Node and 2 more 2025-06-09 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
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.
CVE-2020-13776 3 Fedoraproject, Netapp, Systemd Project 4 Fedora, Active Iq Unified Manager, Solidfire \& Hci Management Node and 1 more 2025-06-09 6.2 MEDIUM 6.7 MEDIUM
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.
CVE-2019-20386 5 Canonical, Fedoraproject, Netapp and 2 more 7 Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, Active Iq Unified Manager and 4 more 2025-06-09 2.1 LOW 2.4 LOW
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.
CVE-2018-6954 3 Canonical, Opensuse, Systemd Project 3 Ubuntu Linux, Leap, Systemd 2025-06-09 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
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.
CVE-2018-15688 4 Canonical, Debian, Redhat and 1 more 9 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 6 more 2025-06-09 5.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the dhcp6 client of systemd allows a malicious dhcp6 server to overwrite heap memory in systemd-networkd. Affected releases are systemd: versions up to and including 239.
CVE-2018-15687 2 Canonical, Systemd Project 2 Ubuntu Linux, Systemd 2025-06-09 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
A race condition in chown_one() of systemd allows an attacker to cause systemd to set arbitrary permissions on arbitrary files. Affected releases are systemd versions up to and including 239.
CVE-2018-15686 4 Canonical, Debian, Oracle and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Communications Cloud Native Core Network Function Cloud Native Environment and 1 more 2025-06-09 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability in unit_deserialize of systemd allows an attacker to supply arbitrary state across systemd re-execution via NotifyAccess. This can be used to improperly influence systemd execution and possibly lead to root privilege escalation. Affected releases are systemd versions up to and including 239.
CVE-2013-4392 1 Systemd Project 1 Systemd 2025-06-09 3.3 LOW 5.0 MEDIUM
systemd, when updating file permissions, allows local users to change the permissions and SELinux security contexts for arbitrary files via a symlink attack on unspecified files.
CVE-2022-4415 1 Systemd Project 1 Systemd 2025-05-05 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
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.
CVE-2018-20839 2 Netapp, Systemd Project 5 Cn1610, Cn1610 Firmware, Snapprotect and 2 more 2025-05-05 4.3 MEDIUM 4.3 MEDIUM
systemd 242 changes the VT1 mode upon a logout, which allows attackers to read cleartext passwords in certain circumstances, such as watching a shutdown, or using Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-F2. This occurs because the KDGKBMODE (aka current keyboard mode) check is mishandled.
CVE-2022-3821 3 Fedoraproject, Redhat, Systemd Project 3 Fedora, Enterprise Linux, Systemd 2025-05-02 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
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.
CVE-2022-45873 2 Fedoraproject, Systemd Project 2 Fedora, Systemd 2025-04-25 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
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.
CVE-2017-1000082 1 Systemd Project 1 Systemd 2025-04-20 10.0 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
systemd v233 and earlier fails to safely parse usernames starting with a numeric digit (e.g. "0day"), running the service in question with root privileges rather than the user intended.
CVE-2017-15908 2 Canonical, Systemd Project 2 Ubuntu Linux, Systemd 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
In systemd 223 through 235, a remote DNS server can respond with a custom crafted DNS NSEC resource record to trigger an infinite loop in the dns_packet_read_type_window() function of the 'systemd-resolved' service and cause a DoS of the affected service.
CVE-2017-9217 1 Systemd Project 1 Systemd 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
systemd-resolved through 233 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted DNS response with an empty question section.
CVE-2015-7510 1 Systemd Project 1 Systemd 2025-04-20 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Stack-based buffer overflow in the getpwnam and getgrnam functions of the NSS module nss-mymachines in systemd.
CVE-2016-10156 1 Systemd Project 1 Systemd 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A flaw in systemd v228 in /src/basic/fs-util.c caused world writable suid files to be created when using the systemd timers features, allowing local attackers to escalate their privileges to root. This is fixed in v229.
CVE-2017-9445 1 Systemd Project 1 Systemd 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
In systemd through 233, certain sizes passed to dns_packet_new in systemd-resolved can cause it to allocate a buffer that's too small. A malicious DNS server can exploit this via a response with a specially crafted TCP payload to trick systemd-resolved into allocating a buffer that's too small, and subsequently write arbitrary data beyond the end of it.
CVE-2012-0871 2 Opensuse, Systemd Project 2 Opensuse, Systemd 2025-04-12 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
The session_link_x11_socket function in login/logind-session.c in systemd-logind in systemd, possibly 37 and earlier, allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the X11 user directory in /run/user/.
CVE-2016-7796 3 Novell, Redhat, Systemd Project 9 Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop, Suse Linux Enterprise Server, Suse Linux Enterprise Server For Sap and 6 more 2025-04-12 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
The manager_dispatch_notify_fd function in systemd allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a zero-length message received over a notify socket, which causes an error to be returned and the notification handler to be disabled.
