CVE-2016-7795

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions systemd versions 231 and earlier

Description The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in an assertion failure and PID 1 hang, by sending a zero-length message over a notify socket. This is due to a problem in the manager invoke notify message function.

Recommendations For versions 231 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the manager invoke notify message function until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
