Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for dbus CESA-2011:0376 centos5 i386
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'dbus'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'dbus'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

A denial of service flaw was discovered in the system for sending messages
between applications. A local user could send a message with an excessive
number of nested variants to the system-wide message bus, causing the
message bus (and, consequently, any process using libdbus to receive
messages) to abort. (CVE-2010-4352)

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.

Affected Software/OS:
dbus on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
