Debian-specific: no
CVE Id         : CVE-2009-0365
Debian Bug     : 519801

It was discovered that network-manager-applet, a network management
framework, lacks some dbus restriction rules, which allows local users
to obtain sensitive information.

If you have locally modified the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf
file, then please make sure that you merge the changes from this fix
when asked during upgrade.

[SECURITY] [DSA 1690-1] New avahi packages fix denial of service

Huge Dias discovered that the avahi daemon aborts with an assert error
if it encounters a UDP packet with source port 0 (CVE-2008-5081).

It was discovered that the avahi daemon aborts with an assert error if
it receives an empty TXT record over D-Bus (CVE-2007-3372).

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in

[ MDVSA-2008:145 ] - Updated bluez/bluez-utils packages fix SDP packet parsing vulnerability

 Problem Description:
 
 An input validation flaw was found in the Bluetooth Session Description
 Protocol (SDP) packet parser used in the Bluez bluetooth utilities.
 A bluetooth device with an already-trusted relationship, or a local
 user registering a service record via a UNIX socket or D-Bus interface,
 could cause a crash and potentially execute arbitrary code with the
 privileges of the hcid daemon (CVE-2008-2374).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

[USN-1115-1] language-selector vulnerability

Software Description:
- language-selector: Language selector for Ubuntu Linux

Romain Perier discovered that the language-selector D-Bus backend did not
correctly check for Policy Kit authorizations. A local attacker could exploit
this to inject shell commands into the system-wide locale configuration file,
leading to root privilege escalation.

Update instructions:

[ GLSA 200903-29 ] BlueZ: Arbitrary code execution

A physically proximate attacker using a Bluetooth device with an
already established trust relationship could send specially crafted
requests, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution or a crash.
Exploitation may also be triggered by a local attacker registering a
service record via a UNIX socket or D-Bus interface.

Workaround
