AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: dbus-broker (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1788817207)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 362029

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1788817207 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in dbus-broker. When the process file-descriptor limit is reached, EMFILE/ENFILE errors during peer setup (notably SO_PEERPIDFD) are handled as fatal failures, causing the broker to exit. A local attacker who can open many connections to the user session bus can trigger this and deny service to the desktop session. Flatpak applications can reach the host session bus through the dbus proxy.
 (CVE-2026-16730)

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 dbus-broker package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1788817207.
