Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions when the process file-descriptor limit is reached during peer setup, specifically when handling EMFILE/ENFILE errors in SO_PEERPIDFD. An attacker can cause the broker to exit and disrupt the desktop session by opening many connections to the user session bus.
