Detail
| The D-Bus library did not correctly validate certain corrupted signatures which could cause a crash of applications linked against the D-Bus library if a local user were to send a specially crafted D-Bus request (CVE-2008-3834). The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue. |

| Title: | RHSA-2009:0008 -- dbus security update (Moderate) | ||
| Description: | Updated dbus packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 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 discovered in the system for sending messages between applications. A local user could send a message with a malformed signature to the bus causing the bus (and, consequently, any process using libdbus to receive messages) to abort. (CVE-2008-3834) | ||
