Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703161
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-3161-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'dbus' package(s) announced via the DSA-3161-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'dbus' package(s) announced via the DSA-3161-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Simon McVittie discovered a local denial of service flaw in dbus, an asynchronous inter-process communication system. On systems with systemd-style service activation, dbus-daemon does not prevent forged ActivationFailure messages from non-root processes. A malicious local user could use this flaw to trick dbus-daemon into thinking that systemd failed to activate a system service, resulting in an error reply back to the requester.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8-1+deb7u6.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.16-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your dbus packages.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
