Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

An attacker could send crafted input to applications using DBus-GLib and possibly escalate privileges.

Software Description: - dbus-glib: simple interprocess messaging system

Details:

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.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libdbus-glib-1-2 0.98-1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
libdbus-glib-1-2 0.94-4ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libdbus-glib-1-2 0.84-1ubuntu0.3

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
