CVE-2023-34969

MEDIUMEPSS 71th pctl

6.5

CVSS v3

Description

D-Bus before 1.15.6 sometimes allows unprivileged users to crash dbus-daemon. If a privileged user with control over the dbus-daemon is using the org.freedesktop.DBus.Monitoring interface to monitor message bus traffic, then an unprivileged user with the ability to connect to the same dbus-daemon can cause a dbus-daemon crash under some circumstances via an unreplyable message. When done on the well-known system bus, this is a denial-of-service vulnerability. The fixed versions are 1.12.28, 1.14.8, and 1.15.6.

Is CVE-2023-34969 being actively exploited?

Not that we know of. CVE-2023-34969 is not in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Its EPSS score of 1.4% is the estimated probability that it will be exploited in the next 30 days. That is higher than 71% of all scored CVEs.

How severe is CVE-2023-34969?

CVE-2023-34969 has a CVSS v3 base score of 6.5, rated medium. CVSS rates the technical impact if the vulnerability is exploited, not how likely that is, so weigh it alongside the exploit-prediction score when you decide what to patch first.

What does CVE-2023-34969 affect?

Published advisories record a fix for dbus (Debian), dbus (Red Hat / RHEL), dbus (Rocky), dbus-common (Rocky), and 27 more. Only products with a sourced advisory are listed, so treat this as what we can cite rather than a complete inventory.
