DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in dbus-glib D-Bus GLib Bindings,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain
security features.

The security issue is caused due to the library not properly honoring
property access specifications, which can be exploited to e.g. modify
exported properties, although they are intended to be read only.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the "rhel5" branch of the GIT repository. Applications using
the library may have to be rebuilt using a patched version of the
library.
