Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3816-1
November 12, 2018
systemd vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.10
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in systemd.
Software Description:
- systemd: system and service manager
Details:
Jann Horn discovered that unit_deserialize incorrectly handled status messages
above a certain length. A local attacker could potentially exploit this via
NotifyAccess to inject arbitrary state across re-execution and obtain root
privileges. (CVE-2018-15686)
Jann Horn discovered a race condition in chown_one(). A local attacker
could potentially exploit this by setting arbitrary permissions on certain
files to obtain root privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
and Ubuntu 18.10. (CVE-2018-15687)
It was discovered that systemd-tmpfiles mishandled symlinks in
non-terminal path components. A local attacker could potentially exploit
this by gaining ownership of certain files to obtain root privileges. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-6954)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 18.10:
systemd 239-7ubuntu10.3
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
systemd 237-3ubuntu10.6
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
systemd 229-4ubuntu21.8
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
