Date:                    2022-12-28
Initial Package Version: 252
Origin:                  Upstream (commit b7641425659243c09473cd8fb3aef2c0d4a3eb9c)
Upstream Status:         Applied
Description:             Fixes CVE-2022-4415, a security vulnerability caused by
                         systemd-coredump not respecting fs.suid_dumpable kernel
                         settings. This vulnerability allows for a local infoleak
                         and for privilege escalation. A proof of concept is
                         public, and it retrieves the password hash for the root
                         user.

                         See https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/12/21/3
                         for more information.
