3. Description:
dbus-glib is an add-on library to integrate the standard D-Bus library with
the GLib main loop and threading model.
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 dbus-glib users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications
linked against dbus-glib, such as fprintd and NetworkManager, must be
restarted for this update to take effect.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
