Memory leak in dbus - CVE-2020-12049

Vulnerability identifier: #VU29105

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12049

CWE-ID: CWE-401

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in libdbus when a message exceeds the per-message file descriptor limit. A local user with access to the D-Bus system bus or another system service's private AF_UNIX socket can make the system service reach its file descriptor limit, denying service to subsequent D-Bus clients.
