Synopsis: Moderate: dbus security update
Issue Date: 2011-08-09
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-2200
—
D-Bus is a system for sending messages between applications. It is used for
the system-wide message bus service and as a per-user-login-session
messaging facility.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way the D-Bus library handled
endianness conversion when receiving messages. A local user could use this
flaw to send a specially-crafted message to dbus-daemon or to a service
using the bus, such as Avahi or NetworkManager, possibly causing the
daemon to exit or the service to disconnect from the bus. (CVE-2011-2200)
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue. For the update to take effect, all
running instances of dbus-daemon and all running applications using the
libdbus library must be restarted, or the system rebooted.
