Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : glib2.0 (MDVSA-2013:083)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 66097

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated glib2.0 packages fix security vulnerability :

It was discovered that the version of glib shipped with MBS 1 does not sanitise certain DBUS related environment variables. When used in combination with a setuid application which utilises dbus via glib, a local user could gain escalated privileges with a specially crafted environment. This is related to a similar issue with dbus (CVE-2012-3524).

This updated version of glib adds appropriate protection against such scenarios and also adds additional hardening when used in a setuid environment.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
