Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-04-16 22:41:39 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #240308 +++

A call to dbus_signature_validate() can crash dbus.

The applied patch via bug 240308 is invalid.

The current additional patch to be applied on top of the old one can be found here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=24436

However, upstream are not yet completely sure if they got it right this time.
So maybe we should give them some more time to ascertain the validity before applying.

CVE-2009-1189 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1189):
  The _dbus_validate_signature_with_reason function
  (dbus-marshal-validate.c) in D-Bus (aka DBus) uses incorrect logic to
  validate a basic type, which allows remote attackers to spoof a
  signature via a crafted key.  NOTE: this is due to an incorrect fix
  for CVE-2008-3834.

gentopia is no more, updating CC list.
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-09-13 21:46:02 UTC
1.2.3 has been removed from the tree.
Comment 5 Chris Reffett (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-22 15:31:52 UTC
Obsolete, long gone from tree and not important enough for a GLSA at this point. Closing.
