3. Description:

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. (CVE-2011-2200)

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.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
