Synopsis:	Moderate: dbus security update
Issue date:	2010-01-07
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-1189

It was discovered that the last dbus security update did not correctly 
fix the denial of service flaw in the system for sending messages 
between applications. A local user could use this flaw to send a
message with a malformed signature to the bus, causing the bus (and,
consequently, any process using libdbus to receive messages) to abort.
(CVE-2009-1189)

Note: Users running any application providing services over the system
message bus are advised to test this update carefully before deploying 
it in production environments.

For the update to take effect, all running instances of dbus-daemon and 
all running applications using the libdbus library must be restarted, or 
the system rebooted.
