Synopsis
A vulnerability has been discovered in GLib, which can lead to privilege
escalation.
Background
GLib is a library providing a number of GNOME's core objects and
functions.
Affected Packages
Package Vulnerable Unaffected
------------- ------------ ------------
dev-libs/glib < 2.78.6 >= 2.78.6
Impact
When a GDBus-based client subscribes to signals from a trusted system
service such as NetworkManager or logind on a shared computer, other
users of the same computer can send spoofed D-Bus signals that the
GDBus-based client will wrongly interpret as having been sent by the
trusted system service. This could lead to the GDBus-based client
behaving incorrectly, with an application-dependent impact.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
