A flaw was found in systemd. An uncontrolled recursion in systemd-tmpfiles may lead to a denial of service at boot time when too many nested directories are created in /tmp.
The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
