Ubuntu 19.10: USN-4134-3 Critical: IBus Local User Key Capture

IBus could allow local users to capture key strokes of other locally logged in users.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4134-3 March 24, 2020 ibus vulnerability ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 19.10 - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: IBus could allow local users to capture key strokes of other locally logged in users. Software Description: - ibus: Intelligent Input Bus - core Details: USN-4134-1 fixed a vulnerability in IBus. The update caused a regression in some Qt applications and the fix was subsequently reverted in USN-4134-2. The regression has since been resolved and so this update fixes the original vulnerability. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: Simon McVittie discovered that IBus did not enforce appropriate access controls on its private D-Bus socket. A local unprivileged user who discovers the IBus socket address of another user could exploit this to capture the key strokes of the other user. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 19.10: ibus 1.5.21-1~exp2ubuntu2.1 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: ibus 1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: ibus 1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
