NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream spice-gtk-tools package and not the spice-gtk-tools package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

libgio, when used in setuid or other privileged programs in spice-gtk and possibly other products, allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code via the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. NOTE: it could be argued that this is a vulnerability in the applications that do not cleanse environment variables, not in libgio itself.
