CVE-2014-3639  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 dbus to version 1.6.18-0ubuntu4.2 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 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.
