NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream systemd package and not the systemd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The SetX11Keyboard function in systemd, when PolicyKit Local Authority (PKLA) is used to change the group permissions on the X Keyboard Extension (XKB) layouts description, allows local users in the group to modify the Xorg X11 Server configuration file and possibly gain privileges via vectors involving "special and control characters."
