CVE-2026-29111 (GCVE-0-2026-29111)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-23 21:03 – Updated: 2026-03-25 19:13

Title
systemd: Local unprivileged user can trigger an assert
Summary
systemd, a system and service manager, (as PID 1) hits an assert and freezes execution when an unprivileged IPC API call is made with spurious data. On version v249 and older the effect is not an assert, but stack overwriting, with the attacker controlled content. From version v250 and newer this is not possible as the safety check causes an assert instead. This IPC call was added in v239, so versions older than that are not affected. Versions 260-rc1, 259.2, 258.5, and 257.11 contain patches. No known workarounds are available.

CVE-2018-15686 (GCVE-0-2018-15686)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-10-26 14:00 – Updated: 2025-06-09 15:50
VLAI?
Title
systemd: reexec state injection: fgets() on overlong lines leads to line splitting
Summary
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.
CWE
  • fgets() can be confused by overly-long input strings. The first read will return a partial string and subsequent reads will begin as if it were a new line.
