Synopsis
========
A vulnerability has been discovered in GLib, which can lead to privilege
escalation.
Background
==========
GLib is a library providing a number of GNOME's core objects and
functions.
Affected packages
=================
Package        Vulnerable    Unaffected
-------------  ------------  ------------
dev-libs/glib  < 2.78.6      >= 2.78.6
Description
===========
A vulnerability has been discovered in GLib. Please review the CVE
identifier referenced below for details.
Impact
======
When a GDBus-based client subscribes to signals from a trusted system
service such as NetworkManager or logind on a shared computer, other
users of the same computer can send spoofed D-Bus signals that the
GDBus-based client will wrongly interpret as having been sent by the
trusted system service. This could lead to the GDBus-based client
behaving incorrectly, with an application-dependent impact.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All GLib users should upgrade to the latest version:
  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/glib-2.78.6"
