Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in systemd, the worst of which could result in denial of service.

Background

A system and service manager.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
sys-fs/udev	< 250		All supported architectures
sys-apps/systemd-utils	< 251.3	>= 251.3	All supported architectures
sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles	< 250		All supported architectures
sys-apps/systemd	< 251.3	>= 251.3	All supported architectures

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in systemd. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All systemd users should upgrade to the latest version:

          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/systemd-251.3"

All systemd-utils users should upgrade to the latest version:


          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/systemd-utils-251.3"

Gentoo has discontinued support for sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles, sys-boot/systemd-boot, and sys-fs/udev. See the 2022-04-19-systemd-utils news item. Users should unmerge it in favor of sys-apps/systemd-utils on non-systemd systems:


          # emerge --ask --depclean --verbose "sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles" "sys-boot/systemd-boot" "sys-fs/udev"
          # emerge --ask --verbose --oneshot ">=sys-apps/systemd-utils-251.3"
