Package        : systemd

The Qualys Research Labs reported that the backported security fixes
shipped in DSA 4367-1 contained a memory leak in systemd-journald. This
and an unrelated bug in systemd-coredump are corrected in this update.

Note that as the systemd-journald service is not restarted automatically
a restart of the service or more safely a reboot is advised.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 232-25+deb9u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your systemd packages.

For the detailed security status of systemd please refer to its security
tracker page at:
