-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-12863 2010-08-17 05:06:40 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : dbus-glib Product : Fedora 13 Version : 0.86 Release : 4.fc13 URL : http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ Summary : GLib bindings for D-Bus Description : D-Bus add-on library to integrate the standard D-Bus library with the GLib thread abstraction and main loop. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: It was discovered that dbus-glib did not enforce the "access" flag on exported GObject properties. If such a property were read/write internally but specified as read-only externally, a malicious, local user could use this flaw to modify that property of an application. Such a change could impact the application's behavior (for example, if an IP address were changed the network may not come up properly after reboot) and possibly lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-1172) Due to the way dbus-glib translates an application's XML definitions of service interfaces and properties into C code at application build time, applications built against dbus-glib that use read-only properties needed to be rebuilt to fully fix the flaw. This update provides DeviceKit-power packages that have been rebuilt against the updated dbus-glib packages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Aug 11 2010 Colin Walters <[email protected]> - 0.86-4 - Apply patch to fix property access * Tue Jun 29 2010 Dan Williams <[email protected]> - 0.86-3 - Fix shadow property access (fdo #28835) * Tue Jun 29 2010 Bastien Nocera <[email protected]> 0.86-2 - Add introspection data from gir-repository - Remove unneeded autotools calls * Thu Mar 18 2010 Colin Walters <[email protected]> - 0.86-1 - New upstream Drop upstreamed patch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #585394 - CVE-2010-1172 dbus-glib: property access not validated https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585394 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
