Language:

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201308-02 (D-Bus: Denial of Service)

 D-Bus’ _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound() function crashes if it returns exactly 1024 bytes.
 Impact :

 A local attacker could provide specially crafted input to an application using D-Bus which would cause _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound() to return 1024 bytes and crash, causing a Denial of Service condition.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All D-Bus users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=sys-apps/dbus-1.6.12'
