Description Ganesh 2026-07-14 20:14:53 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

A `GDBus` authentication denial-of-service / resource exhaustion flaw has been reported. The vulnerability involves a lack of line length limitations when `gdbusauth` reads input from a client. This can be exploited by an unauthenticated remote or local attacker to cause excessive memory and CPU consumption.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
