CVE-2022-3821

Se descubrió un problema de error de uno en uno en Systemd en la función format_timespan() de time-util.c. Un atacante podría proporcionar valores específicos de tiempo y precisión que provoquen una saturación del búfer en format_timespan(), lo que provocará una Denegación de Servicio (DoS).

An off-by-one error flaw was found in systemd in the format_timespan() function of time-util.c. This flaw allows an attacker to supply specific values for time and accuracy, leading to a buffer overrun in format_timespan(), leading to a denial of service.

It was discovered that systemd did not properly validate the time and accuracy values provided to the format_timespan function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a buffer overrun, leading to a denial of service attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It was discovered that systemd did not properly manage the fs.suid_dumpable kernel configurations. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.10.
