NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream systemd
package and not the systemd
package as distributed by Debian
.
systemd 242 changes the VT1 mode upon a logout, which allows attackers to read cleartext passwords in certain circumstances, such as watching a shutdown, or using Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-F2. This occurs because the KDGKBMODE (aka current keyboard mode) check is mishandled.
