CVE-2012-4425
Published: 18 September 2012
libgio, when used in setuid or other privileged programs in spice-gtk and possibly other products, allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code via the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. NOTE: it could be argued that this is a vulnerability in the applications that do not cleanse environment variables, not in libgio itself.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| mdeslaur | RedHat has fixed this in spice-gtk itself. Setting as low, since spice-gtk is probably one of the only apps to do this. |
