CVE-2014-8156

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The D-Bus security policy files in fso-gsmd, fso-frameworkd, and fso-usaged do not properly filter D-Bus message paths, which may allow local users to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code as root.

Risk Assessment

Local users may exploit this vulnerability to exhaust dbus-daemon memory, leading to denial of service, or gain unauthorized access to the system as root.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update to the latest versions of the packages that improve D-Bus message path filtering and review the D-Bus security policy in the system.

The D-Bus security policy files in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/*.conf in fso-gsmd 0.12.0-3, fso-frameworkd 0.9.5.9+git20110512-4, and fso-usaged 0.12.0-2 as packaged in Debian, the upstream cornucopia.git (fsoaudiod, fsodatad, fsodeviced, fsogsmd, fsonetworkd, fsotdld, fsousaged) git master on 2015-01-19, the upstream framework.git 0.10.1 and git master on 2015-01-19, phonefsod 0.1+git20121018-1 as packaged in Debian, Ubuntu and potentially other packages, and potentially other fso modules do not properly filter D-Bus message paths, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service (dbus-daemon memory consumption), or execute arbitrary code as root by sending a crafted D-Bus message to any D-Bus system service.
