Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0262)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'dbus' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0262 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'dbus' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0262 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:
An issue was discovered in dbus >= 1.3.0 before 1.12.18. The DBusServer
in libdbus, as used in dbus-daemon, leaks file descriptors when a message
exceeds the per-message file descriptor limit. A local attacker with
access to the D-Bus system bus or another system service's private
AF_UNIX socket could use this to make the system service reach its file
descriptor limit, denying service to subsequent D-Bus clients.
(CVE-2020-12049)

Affected Software/OS:
'dbus' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
