Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in systemd.

Software Description:
- systemd: system and service manager

It was discovered that systemd-nspawn incorrectly handled certain optional
configuration files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to
escape to the host system and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-40226)

records for signed domains. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
manipulate DNS records. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
