systemd vulnerability

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- - Ubuntu 18.10
- - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

systemd could be made to crash if it received specially a crafted
D-Bus message.

Software Description:
- - systemd: system and service manager

Details:

It was discovered that systemd incorrectly handled certain D-Bus messages=
=2E
A local unprivileged attacker could exploit this in order to crash the
init process, resulting in a system denial-of-service (kernel panic).

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 18.10:
  libsystemd0                     239-7ubuntu10.8
  systemd                         239-7ubuntu10.8

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
  libsystemd0                     237-3ubuntu10.13
  systemd                         237-3ubuntu10.13

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

  systemd                         229-4ubuntu21.16

all the necessary changes.
