Linux systemd Affected by Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/s … tches-yet/

The bugs exist in 'journald' service, tasked with collecting and storing log data, and they can be exploited to obtain root privileges on the target machine or to leak information. No patches exist at the moment.

Those should be fixed quickly even if no exploits yet for those CVE's.

Re: Linux systemd Affected by Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

I really hope for Systemd based OSes to evolve into their own direction, so that in a while (months sure will not be enough) they will be an own "digitope" or brand like e.g. Android or ChromeOS is today.

We should applaud on every add-on to Systemd that makes it more incompatible with classic Unixens to support this divergence!
Let them go!
In peace...
The faster, the better!
The farther away, the better!

Re: Linux systemd Affected by Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

I just love some of the excuses for systemd behavior in some of those slashdot comments, like .
Its a part of a process copied by another process but we dont know how the actual process works until said process is shared with other processes and copied and sym linked to a set of new usr processes we really should not daemonise. Oh shit, that really caused the memory leak we were after umm no sorry thats bad code sorry.....
