The regression has since been resolved and so this update fixes\nthe original vulnerability.\n\nWe apologize for the inconvenience.\n\nOriginal advisory details:\n\n Simon McVittie discovered that IBus did not enforce appropriate access\n controls on its private D-Bus socket. A local unprivileged user who\n discovers the IBus socket address of another user could exploit this to\n capture the key strokes of the other user.\n",
