Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-35512)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error if two usernames have the same numeric UID. When a set of policy rules references these usernames, D-Bus may free some memory in the heap, which is still used by data structures necessary for the other usernames sharing the UID, which can result in crash.
