+ <title>D-Bus: Format string vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>A vulnerability has been found in D-Bus possibly resulting in a
+ local Denial of Service.
+ </synopsis>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="sys-apps/dbus" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.10.12</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.10.12</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to
+ one another.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>It was discovered that D-Bus incorrectly handles certain format strings.</p>
+
+ <p>The impact of this new vulnerability is believed to not be exploitable
+ if D-Bus is patched against CVE-2015-0245. The previous vulnerability
+ (CVE-2015-0245) was addressed in GLSA-201503-02 referenced below.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A local attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition or possibly
+ execute arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>The vulnerable D-Bus interface is intended only for use by systemd
+ running as root.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>The administrator can install a policy which denies sending from
+ org.freedesktop.systemd1.Activator” to D-Bus. This will prevent
+ non-root attackers from reaching the interface in order to exercise this
+ flaw.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All D-Bus users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/dbus-1.10.12"
+ </code>
+ </resolution>
