LOW 3.3EPSS 1.05%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.05%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An out of bounds read was discovered in systemd-journald in the way it parses log messages that terminate with a colon ':'. A local attacker can use this flaw to disclose process memory data. Versions from v221 to v239 are vulnerable.
