How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 dbus to version 1.6.18-0ubuntu4.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dbus package and not the dbus package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The dbus-daemon in D-Bus 1.2.x through 1.4.x, 1.6.x before 1.6.20, and 1.8.x before 1.8.4, sends an AccessDenied error to the service instead of a client when the client is prohibited from accessing the service, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (initialization failure and exit) or possibly conduct a side-channel attack via a D-Bus message to an inactive service.
