DescriptionNVD

In systemd 258 before 260, a local unprivileged user can trigger an assert when a Delegate=yes and User=<unset> unit exists and is running.

AnalysisAI

Local denial of service in systemd 258 through 259 allows unprivileged users to trigger an assertion failure by interacting with service units configured with Delegate=yes and no explicit User setting, causing the systemd daemon to crash. The vulnerability requires local access and specific unit configuration but poses moderate risk to system availability with a CVSS score of 4.7 and no active exploitation currently identified.
