Basically, core OS services like NetworkManager which use dbus-glib were specifying e.g. the "Ip4Address" as read-only for remote access, but in fact any process could modify it. I have a patch for dbus-glib (attached). However, due to the nature of the way dbus-glib works where at build time services generate a C data structure from XML and embed it into their binary, affected services will need to be rebuilt (though not patched). This affected list is for F-12; I think for RHEL5 we just need dbus-glib and NetworkManager. KNOWN AFFECTED SERVICES: * DeviceKit-Power * NetworkManager * ModemManager KNOWN NOT AFFECTED that claim to handle org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties: * ConsoleKit (it denies all Properties access using dbus policy) * gdm (ditto) * PackageKit (all of the properties on exposed GObjects are G_PARAM_READONLY) KNOWN NOT AFFECTED (because I audited them) * gnome-panel (no dbus properties) * gnome-system-monitor (ditto) PROBABLY NOT AFFECTED * hal (doesn't claim to handle org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties) * polkit (uses eggdbus) * rtkit (doesn't use dbus-glib) * DeviceKit-disks (all its properties appear to be readonly) * wpa_supplicant (doesn't implement Properties) * upstart (doesn't use dbus-glib) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus- glib/+bug/616517/comments/0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2010-04-23T21:28:02+00:00 Colin wrote: Created attachment 408742 respect property access flags Note that affected services will need to be recompiled.

Also, you can kill the: /* Try both forms of property names: "foo_bar" or "FooBar"; for historical * reasons we accept both. */ if (object_info && !(property_info_from_object_info (object_info, wincaps_propiface, requested_propname, &access_type) 'object_info' check there now in check_property_access since there's a check for if (!object_info) just above.
