Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68811
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1044-1 (dbus)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to dbus
announced via advisory USN-1044-1.

Details follow:

Remi Denis-Courmont discovered that D-Bus did not properly validate the
number of nested variants when validating D-Bus messages. A local attacker
could exploit this to cause a denial of service.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libdbus-1-3 1.1.20-1ubuntu3.4

Ubuntu 9.10:
libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-0ubuntu9.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2ubuntu4.1

Ubuntu 10.10:
libdbus-1-3 1.4.0-0ubuntu1.1

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
