CVE-2008-0595

17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-0595 describes a security bypass vulnerability in dbus-daemon versions prior to 1.0.3 and 1.1.20, affecting products like Fedora, Freedesktop, Mandrakesoft, and Red Hat. The flaw allows local users to bypass access restrictions by making method calls with a NULL interface, as the system incorrectly applies security policy rules. With a CVSS score of 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), this vulnerability has low attack complexity and requires local access, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage, indicating a low current threat landscape.
