13 |
Alexandru Cornea discovered a vulnerability in libdbus caused by an |
14 |
implementation bug in _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound(). This |
15 |
vulnerability can be exploited by a local user to crash system services |
16 |
that use libdbus, causing denial of service. Depending on the dbus |
17 |
services running, it could lead to complete system crash (CVE-2013-2168). |

This problem only currently appears to affect the x86_64 version of Mageia |
20 |
but we advise that all systems should be updated. |
