NVD Description

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

In Keepalived through 2.2.4, the D-Bus policy does not sufficiently restrict the message destination, allowing any user to inspect and manipulate any property. This leads to access-control bypass in some situations in which an unrelated D-Bus system service has a settable (writable) property
