Background
==========

D-Bus is a daemon providing a framework for applications to communicate
with one another.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package        /  Vulnerable  /                        Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  sys-apps/dbus     < 1.2.3-r1                          >= 1.2.3-r1


Description
===========

schelte reported that the dbus_signature_validate() function can
trigger a failed assertion when processing a message containing a
malformed signature.

Impact

daemon, leading to a Denial of Service.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All D-Bus users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/dbus-1.2.3-r1"
