with one another. GLib is a library providing a number of GNOME’s core
objects and functions.

<description>
<p>When libdbus is used in a setuid program, a user can gain escalated
privileges by leveraging the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS variable. GLib can
be used in a setuid context with D-Bus, and so can trigger this
vulnerability. Please review the CVE identifier below for more details.
