systemd DynamicUser SetUID Binary Creation
Posted by deepcore on April 27, 2019 – 4:00 am
This bug report describes a bug in systemd that allows a service with DynamicUser in collaboration with another service or user to create a setuid binary that can be used to access its UID beyond the lifetime of the service. This bug probably has relatively low severity, given that there are not many services yet that use DynamicUser, and the requirement of collaboration with another process limits the circumstances in which it would be useful to an attacker further; but in a system that makes heavy use of DynamicUser, it would probably have impact.
