    It was discovered that D-Bus did not properly handle the situation when
      two usernames have the same numeric UID.
  
Impact :

    An attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition or
      trigger other undefined behavior, possibly including incorrect
      authorization decisions.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
