the original vulnerability.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 Simon McVittie discovered that IBus did not enforce appropriate access
 controls on its private D-Bus socket. A local unprivileged user who
 discovers the IBus socket address of another user could exploit this to
 capture the key strokes of the other user.");
