The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201909-08 (D-Bus: Authentication bypass)

It was discovered that a local attacker could manipulate symbolic links       in their own home directory to bypass authentication and connect to a       DBusServer with elevated privileges.

Impact :

A local attacker can bypass authentication mechanisms and elevate       privileges.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
