    Package : systemd
    CVE ID : CVE-2021-33910

    The Qualys Research Labs discovered that an attacker-controlled
    allocation using the alloca() function could result in memory
    corruption, allowing to crash systemd and hence the entire operating
    system.

    Details can be found in the Qualys advisory at https://www.qualys.com/2021/07/20/cve-2021-33910/denial-of-service-systemd.txt

    For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
    version 241-7~deb10u8.

    We recommend that you upgrade your systemd packages.

    For the detailed security status of systemd please refer to its security tracker page at:
