SuSE 11 Security Update : dbus (SAT Patch Number 726)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 41382

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.

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 may break due to this setting and need an updated configuration as well.

With the previous update wireless networking didn't work anymore on some machines due to stale files in /var/run/dbus/at_console. The dbus init script now cleans up that directory on boot.

Solution

Apply SAT patch number 726.
