Synopsis:	Moderate: dbus-glib security update
Issue date:	2010-08-10
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-1172

It was discovered that dbus-glib did not enforce the "access" flag on
exported GObject properties. If such a property were read/write 
internally but specified as read-only externally, a malicious, local 
user could use this flaw to modify that property of an application. Such 
a change could impact the application's behavior (for example, if an IP 
address were changed the network may not come up properly after reboot) 
and possibly lead to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-1172)

Due to the way dbus-glib translates an application's XML definitions of
service interfaces and properties into C code at application build time,
applications built against dbus-glib that use read-only properties 
needed to be rebuilt to fully fix the flaw. As such, this update 
provides NetworkManager packages that have been rebuilt against the 
updated dbus-glib packages. No other applications shipped with 
Scientific Linux 5 were affected.

Running instances of NetworkManager must be restarted (service 
NetworkManager restart) for this update to take effect.
