Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.881631
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for dbus-glib CESA-2013:0568 centos6
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'dbus-glib'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'dbus-glib'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

Affected Software/OS:
dbus-glib on CentOS 6

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
