55b8075783df5c6f9b4afa7745043043619b3aca7b24e38ad62b9bcd97d97883Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1132-01 - D-Bus is a system for sending messages between applications. It is used for the system-wide message bus service and as a per-user-login-session messaging facility. A denial of service flaw was found in the way the D-Bus library handled endianness conversion when receiving messages. A local user could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted message to dbus-daemon or to a service using the bus, such as Avahi or NetworkManager, possibly causing the daemon to exit or the service to disconnect from the bus. All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. 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.

An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or potentially obtain access to sensitive information.
