CVE-2014-3532: dbus 1.3.0 before 1.6.22 and 1.8.x before 1.8.6, when running on Linux 2.6.37-rc4 or later, allows local users to cause a denial of service…
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 8/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.44% (FIRST EPSS).
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: dbus (Debian:12) 1.8.6-1; dbus (Debian:7) 1.6.8-1+deb7u3; dbus-1 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 1.10.12-2.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to dbus (Debian:12) 1.8.6-1; dbus (Debian:7) 1.6.8-1+deb7u3; dbus-1 (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 1.10.12-2.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
dbus 1.3.0 before 1.6.22 and 1.8.x before 1.8.6, when running on Linux 2.6.37-rc4 or later, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system-bus disconnect of other services or applications) by sending a message containing a file descriptor, then exceeding the maximum recursion depth before the initial message is forwarded.
