The _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound function in dbus/dbus-sysdeps-unix.c in D-Bus (aka DBus) 1.4.x before 1.4.26, 1.6.x before 1.6.12, and 1.7.x before 1.7.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (service crash) via a crafted message.

La función _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound en dbus/dbus-sysdeps-unix.c en D-Bus (aka DBus) 1.4.x anterior a 1.4.26, 1.6.x anterior a 1.6.12, y 1.7.x anterior a 1.7.4, permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del servicio) a través de un mensaje manipulado.

Updated dbus packages fix security vulnerability. Alexandru Cornea discovered a vulnerability in libdbus caused by an implementation bug in _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound(). This vulnerability can be exploited by a local user to crash system services that use libdbus, causing denial of service. Depending on the dbus services running, it could lead to complete system crash.
