[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#501443: CVE-2008-0595: possible DoS

Tue Oct 7 11:01:12 UTC 2008

Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.1-3
Severity: important
Tags: security, patch

Hi

There is a potential DoS in dbus. Please see the upstream bug for
more explanations[0]. The patch is attached[1] to the bug and there is
also a Red Hat bug[2] about it. I am still unsure about the severity
and want to figure out, how common the vulnerability would be, but
I wanted to let you know, so you can work on updated packages for
sid and lenny already.

Please mention the CVE id in your changelog, when you fix this issue.

Cheers
Steffen
