CVE-2009-1189  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade d-bus to version 1.2.4 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. The _dbus_validate_signature_with_reason function (dbus-marshal-validate.c) in D-Bus (aka DBus) before 1.2.14 uses incorrect logic to validate a basic type, which allows remote attackers to spoof a signature via a crafted key. NOTE: this is due to an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-3834.
