Package: systemd Version: 215-17+deb8u5 Severity: important User: pkg-systemd-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: jessie-backport
The news about systemd crashing when getting a zero sized message on the notification socket made the rounds recently. While v215 is not directly affected by this crash (the code to access messages of length=0 was added in v21), the version in unstable still get's confused when it receives such a message and basically disables the notification system. This is bad, because services relying on the notification system, e.g. using the watchdog functionality, are getting killed. The relevant upstream issue is https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4240 231-9 in unstable already contains this fix. I would propose to fix this in stable via regular stable update but would appreciate if the debian-security team would comment on this. If they would prefer a security upload I'm happy to do that as well.
