Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4134-2

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4134-2
Posted Sep 23, 2019
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 4134-2 - USN-4134-1 fixed a vulnerability in IBus. The security fix introduced a regression when being used with Qt applications. This update reverts the security fix pending further investigation. Simon McVittie discovered that IBus did not enforce appropriate access controls on its private D-Bus socket. A local unprivileged user who discovers the IBus socket address of another user could exploit this to capture the key strokes of the other user. Various other issues were also addressed.
