SuSE 10 Security Update : hal (ZYPP Patch Number 6036)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 41520

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 10 host is missing a security-related patch.

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 may break due to this setting and need an updated configuration as well.

Additionally a bug in hal that allowed users to crash the hal daemon has been fixed.

Solution

Apply ZYPP patch number 6036.
