NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream PackageKit-debugsource package and not the PackageKit-debugsource package as distributed by Centos.

PackageKit provided detailed error messages to unprivileged callers that exposed information about file presence and mimetype of files that the user would be unable to determine on its own.
