NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream util-linux-systemd package and not the util-linux-systemd package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

wall in util-linux through 2.40, often installed with setgid tty permissions, allows escape sequences to be sent to other users' terminals through argv. (Specifically, escape sequences received from stdin are blocked, but escape sequences received from argv are not blocked.) There may be plausible scenarios where this leads to account takeover.
