Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4856-1 [email protected]

October 23, 2026 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : xdg-dbus-proxy
Version : 0.1.4-3+deb12u2
CVE ID : CVE-2026-94422
It was discovered that an incorrect implementation of message
filtering in xdg-dbus-proxy, a filtering proxy for D-Bus connections,
allows an attacker to bypass the intended message filtering on the
D-Bus session bus by setting a reply serial number on non-reply
messages.
A malicious or compromised Flatpak app could achieve arbitrary code
execution outside its sandbox.
If other app frameworks rely on xdg-dbus-proxy in the same way that
Flatpak does, then they will have an equivalent vulnerability until
xdg-dbus-proxy is updated.
For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version
0.1.4-3+deb12u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your xdg-dbus-proxy packages.
For the detailed security status of xdg-dbus-proxy please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/xdg-dbus-proxy
Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
