Description: | D-BUS is a system for sending messages between applications. It is used both for the systemwide message bus service, and as a per-user-login-session messaging facility.
Kimmo Hämäläinen discovered a flaw in the way D-BUS processes certain messages. It is possible for a local unprivileged D-BUS process to disrupt the ability of another D-BUS process to receive messages. (CVE-2006-6107)
Users of dbus are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct this issue.
