Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gvfs' package(s) announced via the DSA-1827-1 advisory.
Insight
Insight
Simon McVittie discovered a flaw in gvfs, the Gnome Virtual File System. The gvfsd daemon opened a private D-Bus server socket without configuring an authorization rule. A local attacker could connect to this server socket and issue D-Bus method calls. (Note that the server socket only accepts a single connection, so the attacker would have to discover the server and connect to the socket before its owner does.)
Affected Software
Affected Software
'gvfs' package(s) on Debian Linux.
Detection Method
Detection Method
Checks if a vulnerable package version is present on the target host.
Solution
Solution
For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.22.2-1+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your gvfs packages.
