Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / 11.10 / 12.04 LTS / 12.10 : dbus-glib vulnerability (USN-1753-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 64929

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Sebastian Krahmer and Bastien Nocera discovered that DBus-GLib did not properly validate the message sender when the 'NameOwnerChanged' signal was received. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate their privileges.

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 libdbus-glib-1-2 package.
