NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dbus-glib-devel package and not the dbus-glib-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

DBus-GLib 0.73 disregards the access flag of exported GObject properties, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and possibly cause a denial of service by modifying properties, as demonstrated by properties of the (1) DeviceKit-Power, (2) NetworkManager, and (3) ModemManager services.
