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 flaw was found in dbus-broker. When the broker's file-descriptor table is exhausted, getsockopt(SO_PEERPIDFD) (and similarly accept-path failures) can return EMFILE/ENFILE. dbus-broker treats these as fatal errors and exits instead of refusing the new connection. A local user or Flatpak application in the same user session can open many dangling session-bus connections to trigger this condition, crashing the session bus and disrupting the desktop session.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle. Changing version to 45.
