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...
systemd-homed contains a local privilege escalation bug via arbitrary system group addition to a local, logged in, homed-managed user
Local unprivileged users can terminate arbitrary local processes via a systemd-oomd IPC API due to a missing path traversal validation.
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.
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.
In nspawn in systemd 233 through 259 before 260, an escape-to-host action can occur via a crafted optional config file.
In udev in systemd before 260, local root execution can occur via malicious hardware devices and unsanitized kernel output.
In systemd 259 before 260, there is local privilege escalation in systemd-machined because varlink can be used to reach the root namespace.
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.
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...
systemd 37-1 does not properly handle non-existent services, which causes a denial of service (failure of login procedure).
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.
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.
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 versi...
