Security Advisory

Original Publication Date: 24 Mar, 2020

Latest   Publication Date: 14 Jul, 2020

Security Advisory Description

A memory leak was discovered in the backport of fixes for CVE-2018-16864 in Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. Function dispatch_message_real() in journald-server.c
does not free the memory allocated by set_iovec_field_free() to store the
`_CMDLINE=` entry. A local attacker may use this flaw to make systemd-journald
crash. This issue only affects versions shipped with Red Hat Enterprise since
v219-62.2. (CVE-2019-3815)

Impact

A local attacker may be able to cause excessive resource consumption on the
BIG-IP system, potentially leading to a failover event.
