Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'dbus-1' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2014:1724-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
dbus-1 was updated to version 1.8.12 to fix one security issue.

This security issue was fixed:
- Increase dbus-daemons RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit to 65536 to stop an attacker
from exhausting the file descriptors of the system bus (CVE-2014-7824).

Note: This already includes the fix for the regression that was introduced by the first fix for CVE-2014-7824 in 1.8.10.

On fast systems where local users are considered particularly hostile,
administrators can return to the 5 second timeout (or any other value in milliseconds) by saving this as /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf: 5000

Affected Software/OS:
'dbus-1' package(s) on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 12.
