Function dispatch_message_real() in journald-server.c does not free allocated memory to store the `_CMDLINE=` entry. A local attacker may use this flaw to make systemd-journald crash. Note that as the systemd-journald service is not restarted automatically a restart of the service or more safely a reboot is advised. For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version 215-17+deb8u11. We recommend that you upgrade your systemd packages.
