NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream systemd-pam package and not the systemd-pam package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A heap use-after-free vulnerability was found in systemd before version v245-rc1, where asynchronous Polkit queries are performed while handling dbus messages. A local unprivileged attacker can abuse this flaw to crash systemd services or potentially execute code and elevate their privileges, by sending specially crafted dbus messages.
