libgio, when used in setuid or other privileged programs in spice-gtk and
possibly other products, allows local users to gain privileges and execute
arbitrary code via the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. NOTE:
it could be argued that this is a vulnerability in the applications that do
not cleanse environment variables, not in libgio itself.

| mdeslaur | RedHat has fixed this in spice-gtk itself. Setting as low, since spice-gtk is probably one of the only apps to do this. |
