CVE-2008-4311 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The default configuration of system.conf in D-Bus (aka DBus) before 1.2.6 omits the send_type attribute in certain rules, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by (1) sending messages, related to send_requested_reply; and possibly (2) receiving messages, related to receive_requested_reply.. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
