Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A vulnerability was found in systemd-coredump. This flaw allows an attacker to force a SUID process to
 crash and replace it with a non-SUID binary to access the original's privileged process coredump, allowing
 the attacker to read sensitive data, such as /etc/shadow content, loaded by the original process. A SUID
 binary or process has a special type of permission, which allows the process to run with the file owner's
 permissions, regardless of the user executing the binary. This allows the process to access more
 restricted data than unprivileged users or processes would be able to. An attacker can leverage this flaw
 by forcing a SUID process to crash and force the Linux kernel to recycle the process PID before systemd-
 coredump can analyze the /proc/pid/auxv file. If the attacker wins the race condition, they gain access to
 the original's SUID process coredump file. They can read sensitive content loaded into memory by the
 original binary, affecting data confidentiality. (CVE-2025-4598)

Solution

Update the sys-apps/systemd library and its related packages to version 18613.263.42 or later.
