Synopsis
========

An authentication bypass was discovered in D-Bus.

Background
==========

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

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  sys-apps/dbus               < 1.12.16                 >= 1.12.16

Description
===========

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.

Impact
======

A local attacker can bypass authentication mechanisms and elevate
privileges.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

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

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

References
==========
