CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 dbus-libs.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dbus-libs package and not the dbus-libs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The dbus-daemon in D-Bus before 1.6.24 and 1.8.x before 1.8.8 does not properly close old connections, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (incomplete connection consumption and prevention of new connections) via a large number of incomplete connections.
