MGASA-2012-0233
Date: 	August 23rd, 2012
Affected releases: 	1


Description:
Updated dbus packages fix security vulnerability:

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
(CVE-2011-2200).


Updated Packages:
dbus-1.4.1-3.1.mga1
dbus-doc-1.4.1-3.1.mga1
dbus-x11-1.4.1-3.1.mga1
lib(64)dbus-1_3-1.4.1-3.1.mga1
lib(64)dbus-1-devel-1.4.1-3.1.mga1
