Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'ibus' package(s) announced via the USN-4134-3 advisory.
Insight
Insight
USN-4134-1 fixed a vulnerability in IBus. The update caused a regression in some Qt applications and the fix was subsequently reverted in USN-4134-2. The regression has since been resolved and so this update fixes the original vulnerability. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: 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.
