MiracleLinux 4 : dbus-1.2.24-7.AXS4 (AXSA:2012-954:01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 283908

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2012-954:01 advisory.

 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.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2012-3524 libdbus 1.5.x and earlier, when used in setuid or other privileged programs in X.org and possibly other products, allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code via the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. NOTE: libdbus maintainers state that this is a vulnerability in the applications that do not cleanse environment variables, not in libdbus itself: we do not support use of libdbus in setuid binaries that do not sanitize their environment before their first call into libdbus.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
