D-Bus: Authentication bypass An authentication bypass was discovered in D-Bus. dbus 2019-09-08 2019-09-08 687900 local 1.12.16 1.12.16

D-Bus is a message bus system which processes can use to talk to each other.

It was discovered that a local attacker could manipulate symbolic links in their own home directory to bypass authentication and connect to a DBusServer with elevated privileges.

A local attacker can bypass authentication mechanisms and elevate privileges.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All D-Bus users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/dbus-1.12.16"
