    Simon McVittie discovered that DBus incorrectly handled the file descriptors message limit. A local
    attacker could use this issue to cause DBus to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
    execute arbitrary code. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-3635)

    Alban Crequy discovered that DBus incorrectly handled a large number of file descriptor messages. A local
    attacker could use this issue to cause DBus to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This
    issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-3636)

    Alban Crequy discovered that DBus incorrectly handled certain file descriptor messages. A local attacker
    could use this issue to cause DBus to maintain persistent connections, possibly resulting in a denial of
    service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-3637)

    Alban Crequy discovered that DBus incorrectly handled a large number of parallel connections and parallel
    message calls. A local attacker could use this issue to cause DBus to consume resources, possibly
    resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3638)

    Alban Crequy discovered that DBus incorrectly handled incomplete connections. A local attacker could use
    this issue to cause DBus to fail legitimate connection attempts, resulting in a denial of service.
