Comment 2 Bruce Horne 2024-01-18 07:58:07 UTC
I've observed that systemd is used in userspace by one of the tools we use that says it supports Red Hat. Which viewpoint does the government espouse?

Systemd user service error: https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-us.htm https://geometrydashworld.net The systemd user service is utilized, although not as often as the normal systemd process manager. Red Hat deactivated the systemd user service in RHEL 7 (and so all RHEL-derived distributions, such as CentOS, Oracle Linux 7, and Amazon Linux 2). Nonetheless, RedHat has told Tableau that utilizing the systemd user service is OK as long as the service is reactivated."

A heap buffer overflow means that data is written outside the bounds of dynamically allocated memory (on the heap) due to insufficient boundary checks.
