Debian DLA-1684-1 : systemd security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 122319

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Chris Coulson discovered a flaw in systemd leading to denial of service. An unprivileged user could take advantage of this issue to crash PID1 by sending a specially crafted D-Bus message on the system bus.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 215-17+deb8u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your systemd packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
