Synopsis:          Important: dbus-glib security update
Issue Date:        2013-02-26
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-0292
--

A flaw was found in the way dbus-glib filtered the message sender (message
source subject) when the "NameOwnerChanged" signal was received. This could
trick a system service using dbus-glib (such as fprintd) into believing a
signal was sent from a privileged process, when it was not. A local attacker
could use this flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2013-0292)

All running applications linked against dbus-glib, such as fprintd and
NetworkManager, must be restarted for this update to take effect.
