Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Behavior Order in the Delegate process when the User parameter is unset and the unit is running. An attacker can cause a system service to terminate unexpectedly by creating or manipulating a unit with these settings. This is only exploitable if a unit is configured with Delegate=yes and does not set the User parameter.
