Ubuntu 19.10 : rygel vulnerability (USN-4177-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 130623

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

It was discovered that the Rygel package automatically started the daemon by default in user sessions. In certain environments, this resulted in media being shared contrary to expectations.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected rygel package.
