Discussion

D-Bus 'dbus_signature_validate()' Type Signature Denial of Service Vulnerability

D-Bus is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to handle malformed signatures contained in messages.

Local attackers can exploit this issue to crash an application that uses the affected library, denying service to legitimate users.

This issue affects D-BUS 1.2.1; other versions may also be affected.
