NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rhel-net-naming-sysattrs package and not the rhel-net-naming-sysattrs package as distributed by Centos.

A flaw was found in systemd. An uncontrolled recursion in systemd-tmpfiles may lead to a denial of service at boot time when too many nested directories are created in /tmp.
