Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 8.04 LTS / 8.10 / 9.04 : dbus vulnerability (USN-799-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 39786

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that the D-Bus library did not correctly validate signatures. If a local user sent a specially crafted D-Bus key, they could spoof a valid signature and bypass security policies.

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.
