CVE-2008-3834

Publication date 7 October 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The dbus_signature_validate function in the D-bus library (libdbus) before 1.2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application abort) via a message containing a malformed signature, which triggers a failed assertion error.
