Ubuntu 8.04 LTS / 10.04 LTS : dbus-glib vulnerability (USN-1138-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 55099

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that DBus-GLib did not properly verify the access flag of exported GObject properties under certain circumstances. A local attacker could exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions or possibly cause a denial of service.

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.
