Subject: CVE-2018-1049: systemd: automount: access to automounted volumes
can lock up
Heololo,
In systemd prior to v234 a race exists between .mount and .automount units such
that automount requests from kernel may not be serviced by systemd resulting in
kernel holding the mountpoint and any processes that try to use said mount will
hang. A race like this may lead to denial of service, until mount points are
unmounted. This race is easily reproducible.
