D-BUS is a system for sending messages between applications. It is
used both for the systemwide message bus service, and as a
per-user-login-session messaging facility.

Dan Reed discovered that a user can send and listen to messages on another
user’s per-user session bus if they know the address of the socket. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CAN-2005-0201 to this issue. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, the
per-user session bus is only used for printing notifications, therefore
this issue would only allow a local user to examine or send additional
print notification messages.

Users of dbus are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct this issue.
