Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-659-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'systemd' package(s) announced via the DLA-659-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'systemd' package(s) announced via the DLA-659-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The manager_dispatch_notify_fd function in systemd allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a zero-length message received over a notify socket, which caused an error to be returned and the notification handler to be disabled. For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 44-11+deb7u5. We recommend that you upgrade your systemd packages. Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: [link moved to references] Affected Software/OS: 'systemd' package(s) on Debian 7.
