Ubuntu 5.10 / 6.06 LTS / 6.10 : dbus vulnerability (USN-401-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 27989

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Kimmo Hamalainen discovered that local users could delete other users' D-Bus match rules. Applications would stop receiving D-Bus messages, resulting in a local denial of service, and potential data loss for applications that depended on D-Bus for storing information.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
