openSUSE Security Update : hal (hal-721)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 39983

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The dbus package used a too permissive configuration. Therefore intended access control for some services was not applied (CVE-2008-4311).

The new configuration denies access by default. Some dbus services like hal break due to this setting and need an updated configuration as well. The dbus configuration in the previous hal update was incomplete so this is the second attempt to fix the problem.

Solution

Update the affected hal packages.
