Linux systemd Affected by Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities, No Patches Yet

Security researchers have disclosed three vulnerabilities that affect a system service part of Linux that manages system processes after the boot process. 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, but SUSE Linux Enterprise 15, openSUSE Leap 15.0, and Fedora 28 and 29 are not exploitable because their user space is compiled with GCC’s -fstack-clash-protection.
