CVE-2012-3524 severity important: SUSE including 219 source package names (dbus-1-1.10.12-2.1, dbus-1-1.12.2-1.76, …), 402 product×package rows across 45 product lines (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP2, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12, … (45 product lines)): Fixed 399, Known Not Affected 3.
libdbus 1.5.x and earlier, when used in setuid or other privileged programs in X.org and possibly other products, allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code via the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. NOTE: libdbus maintainers state that this is a vulnerability in the applications that do not cleanse environment variables, not in libdbus itself: "we do not support use of libdbus in setuid binaries that do not sanitize their environment before their first call into libdbus."
