CVSS 7.800000190734863 HIGH
A flaw was found in systemd, a system and service manager. An unprivileged user can exploit this vulnerability by making an Inter-Process Communication (IPC) API call with spurious data. In older versions (v249 and earlier), this can lead to stack overwriting with attacker-controlled content, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation. In newer versions (v250 and later), the flaw causes systemd to assert and freeze, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
