NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dbus package and not the dbus package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

dbus-daemon in D-Bus before 1.0.3, and 1.1.x before 1.1.20, recognizes send_interface attributes in allow directives in the security policy only for fully qualified method calls, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a method call with a NULL interface.
