Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0159
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2008:0159. D-Bus is a system for sending messages between applications. It is used both for the system-wide message bus service, and as a per-user-login-session messaging facility. Havoc Pennington discovered a flaw in the way the dbus-daemon applies its security policy. A user with the ability to connect to the dbus-daemon may be able to execute certain method calls they should normally not have permission to access. (CVE-2008-0595) Red Hat does not ship any applications in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 that would allow a user to leverage this flaw to elevate their privileges. This flaw does not affect the version of D-Bus shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. All users are advised to upgrade to these updated dbus packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0159.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#moderate Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6
