Agreed, and fixing via point release seems okay.

I think this is already CVE-2016-7796.

There were two CVE assingments for systemd recently, CVE-2016-7795 and
CVE-2016-7796, and assigned here:
https://marc.info/?l=oss-security&m=147521835218986&w=2

CVE-2016-7795 is for

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4234
https://www.agwa.name/blog/post/how_to_crash_systemd_in_one_tweet

which does not affect stable.

CVE-2016-7796 is for

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4234#issuecomment-250441246
with fix https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4240 which is this
bug #839607.

Does this look correct to you as well, Florian?

Regards,
Salvatore
