When systemd-machined >= v259 (or v258 with a custom polkit policy that allows register-machine access) is running on a desktop system, an unprivileged user logged in a desktop graphical session can kill arbitrary processes, even privileged ones. versions older than v259 are not...

MediumCVSS 6.7 EPSS 0.06%
systemd-homed contains a local privilege escalation bug via arbitrary system group addition to a local, logged in, homed-managed user
-
MediumCVSS 5.5 EPSS 0.16%
Local unprivileged users can terminate arbitrary local processes via a systemd-oomd IPC API due to a missing path traversal validation.

CVE-2026-40228 systemd: systemd-journald: Unintended output to user terminals via logger command
PublishedLowCVSS 3.3 EPSS 0.18%In systemd 259, systemd-journald can send ANSI escape sequences to the terminals of arbitrary users when a "logger -p emerg" command is executed, if ForwardToWall=yes is set.
-
CVE-2026-40227 systemd: systemd: Denial of Service via malicious IPC API call with null element
PublishedMediumCVSS 5.5 EPSS 0.21%In systemd 260 before 261, a local unprivileged user can trigger an assert via an IPC API call with an array or map that has a null element.
-
MediumCVSS 6.4 EPSS 0.08%
In nspawn in systemd 233 through 259 before 260, an escape-to-host action can occur via a crafted optional config file.
-
MediumCVSS 6.4 EPSS 0.15%
In udev in systemd before 260, local root execution can occur via malicious hardware devices and unsanitized kernel output.
-
HighCVSS 7.3 EPSS 0.11%
In systemd 259 before 260, there is local privilege escalation in systemd-machined because varlink can be used to reach the root namespace.
-
MediumCVSS 5.5 EPSS 0.09%
In systemd 258 before 260, a local unprivileged user can trigger an assert when a Delegate=yes and User=<unset> unit exists and is running.
-
MediumCVSS 5.5 EPSS 0.13%
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 v2...

MediumCVSS 6.7 EPSS 0.17%
A flaw was found in systemd. The systemd-machined service contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability due to insufficient validation of the class parameter in the RegisterMachine D-Bus (Desktop Bus) method. A local unprivileged user can exploit this by attempting to registe...
-
MediumCVSS 5.9 EPSS 7.4%
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 thi...
