the applicable CVE
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2019-6454
DESCRIPTION:
The systemd packages contain systemd, a system and service manager for Linux,
compatible with the SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive
parallelism capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting
services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, and keeps track of processes
using Linux cgroups. In addition, it supports snapshotting and restoring of the
system state, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate
transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can also work as a
drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
