Race condition vulnerability in D-Bus allows local denial of service

CVE-2015-0245 · LOW Severity

AV:L/AC:M/AU:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

D-Bus 1.4.x through 1.6.x before 1.6.30, 1.8.x before 1.8.16, and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 does not validate the source of ActivationFailure signals, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (activation failure error returned) by leveraging a race condition involving sending an ActivationFailure signal before systemd responds.
