The version of systemd installed on the remote host is prior to 219-57. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1388 advisory.

    A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in systemd, where asynchronous Polkit queries are performed     while handling dbus messages. A local unprivileged attacker can abuse this flaw to crash systemd services     or potentially execute code and elevate their privileges, by sending specially crafted dbus messages.
    (CVE-2020-1712)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2020:0564 advisory.

    The systemd packages contain systemd, a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with the SysV and     LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive parallelism capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for     starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, and keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups.
    In addition, it supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount     points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can also work     as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.

    Security Fix(es):

    * systemd: use-after-free when asynchronous polkit queries are performed (CVE-2020-1712)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0039 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-3842:
    In systemd before v242-rc4, it was discovered that pam_systemd does not properly sanitize the environment     before using the XDG_SEAT variable. It is possible for an attacker, in some particular configurations, to     set a XDG_SEAT environment variable which allows for commands to be checked against polkit policies using     the allow_active element rather than allow_any.

    CVE-2020-13776:
    systemd through v245 mishandles numerical usernames such as ones composed of decimal digits or 0x followed     by hex digits, as demonstrated by use of root privileges when privileges of the 0x0 user account were     intended. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-1000082.

    CVE-2020-1712:
    A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in systemd before version v245-rc1, where asynchronous     Polkit queries are performed while handling dbus messages. A local unprivileged attacker can abuse this     flaw to crash systemd services or potentially execute code and elevate their privileges, by sending     specially crafted dbus messages.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has systemd packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in systemd before version v245-rc1, where asynchronous     Polkit queries are performed while handling dbus messages. A local unprivileged attacker can abuse this     flaw to crash systemd services or potentially execute code and elevate their privileges, by sending     specially crafted dbus messages. (CVE-2020-1712)

  - systemd-tmpfiles in systemd through 237 mishandles symlinks present in non-terminal path components, which     allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via vectors involving creation of a directory     and a file under that directory, and later replacing that directory with a symlink. This occurs even if     the fs.protected_symlinks sysctl is turned on. (CVE-2018-6954)

  - systemd-resolved through 233 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a     crafted DNS response with an empty question section. (CVE-2017-9217)

  - In systemd through 233, certain sizes passed to dns_packet_new in systemd-resolved can cause it to     allocate a buffer that's too small. A malicious DNS server can exploit this via a response with a     specially crafted TCP payload to trick systemd-resolved into allocating a buffer that's too small, and     subsequently write arbitrary data beyond the end of it. (CVE-2017-9445)

  - A vulnerability in unit_deserialize of systemd allows an attacker to supply arbitrary state across systemd     re-execution via NotifyAccess. This can be used to improperly influence systemd execution and possibly     lead to root privilege escalation. Affected releases are systemd versions up to and including 239.
    (CVE-2018-15686)
