EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : systemd (EulerOS-SA-2019-2671)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 132206

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the systemd packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - It was discovered systemd does not correctly check the content of PIDFile files before using it to kill processes. When a service is run from an unprivileged user (e.g. User field set in the service file), a local attacker who is able to write to the PIDFile of the mentioned service may use this flaw to trick systemd into killing other services and/or privileged processes. Versions before v237 are vulnerable.(CVE-2018-16888)

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

Solution

Update the affected systemd package.
