## Packages

* [rygel](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=rygel) - GNOME UPnP/DLNA services

## Details

It was discovered that the Rygel package automatically started the daemon
by default in user sessions. In certain environments, this resulted in
media being shared contrary to expectations.

## Update instructions

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

| Ubuntu Release | Package Version |
| --- | --- |
| 19.10 eoan | [rygel](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rygel) –  [0.38.1-2ubuntu3.3](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rygel/0.38.1-2ubuntu3.3) | | |
