openSUSE Security Update : gnome-panel (gnome-panel-753)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 40223

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The dbus package used a too permissive configuration. Therefore intended access control for some services was not applied (CVE-2008-4311).

The new configuration denies access by default. Some dbus services break due to this setting and need an updated configuration as well.

Solution

Update the affected gnome-panel packages.
