CVE-2020-35512

dbus: users with the same numeric UID could lead to use-after-free and undefined behaviour

Published Feb 15, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A use-after-free flaw was found in D-Bus Development branch <= 1.13.16, dbus-1.12.x stable branch <= 1.12.18, and dbus-1.10.x and older branches <= 1.10.30 when a system has multiple usernames sharing the same 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, possibly leading to a crash or other undefined behaviors
