D-Bus: Denial of service A local Denial of Service vulnerability was discovered in D-Bus. d-bus 2020-07-27 2020-07-27 727104 local 1.12.18 1.12.18

D-Bus is a message bus system which processes can use to talk to each other.

D-Bus does not correctly dispose of old connections meaning that it is possible for D-Bus to hit a connection limit.

An attacker could cause a possible Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All D-Bus users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/dbus-1.12.18"
