systemd: denial of service
| Package(s): | systemd | CVE #(s): | CVE-2016-7796 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Created: | October 10, 2016 | Updated: | January 4, 2017 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: | From the SUSE advisory:
A zero-length message received over systemd's notification socket could make manager_dispatch_notify_fd() return an error and, as a side effect, disable the notification handler completely. As the notification socket is world-writable, this could have allowed a local user to perform a denial-of-service attack against systemd. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
