Detail
Problem 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. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: 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. It was discovered that the Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2009:0008 did not correctly fix the denial of service flaw in the system for sending messages between applications. A local user could use this flaw to 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-2009-1189) Note: Users running any application providing services over the system message bus are advised to test this update carefully before deploying it in production environments. 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. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 496672 - CVE-2009-1189 dbus: invalid fix for CVE-2008-3834 |

Description: | It was discovered that the dbus_signature_validate function in dbus, a simple interprocess messaging system, is prone to a denial of service attack. This issue was caused by an incorrect fix for DSA-1658-1. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.1-5+lenny1. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.2-1+etch3. Packages for ia64 and s390 will be released once they are available. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution , this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.14-1. We recommend that you upgrade your dbus packages. | ||
