    Package : dbus
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian bug : none
    CVE ID : CVE-2010-4352

    Rémi Denis-Courmont discovered that dbus, a message bus application,
    is not properly limiting the nesting level when examining messages with extensive nested variants. This allows an attacker to crash the dbus system daemon due to a call stack overflow via crafted messages.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2.1-5+lenny2.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2.24-4.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2.24-4.


    We recommend that you upgrade your dbus packages.
