Issues just keep piling up:

Summary

systemd-resolved could be made to crash or run programs if it received a
specially crafted DNS response.

Details

An out-of-bounds write was discovered in systemd-resolved when handling
specially crafted DNS responses. A remote attacker could potentially
exploit this to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-9445)


Maybe it's me, but what the hell is a DNS resolver doing inside an init
system?
