| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in systemd-journald. When the `ForwardToWall=yes` configuration is enabled, a local user who executes a `logger -p emerg` command can cause systemd-journald to send ANSI escape sequences to the terminals of other arbitrary users. This can lead to unintended output appearing on user terminals, potentially causing confusion or minor disruption.
