+Subject: [PATCH] journald: do not store the iovec entry for process
+ commandline on stack
+
+This fixes a crash where we would read the commandline, whose length is under
+control of the sending program, and then crash when trying to create a stack
+allocation for it.
+
+CVE-2018-16864
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1653855
+
+The message actually doesn't get written to disk, because
+journal_file_append_entry() returns -E2BIG.
