{"id":"USN-4134-3","summary":"ibus vulnerability","details":"USN-4134-1 fixed a vulnerability in IBus. The update caused a regression in\nsome Qt applications and the fix was subsequently reverted in\nUSN-4134-2. 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","modified":"2026-04-22T10:00:46.266269Z","published":"2020-03-24T10:38:46Z","related":["UBUNTU-CVE-2019-14822"],"upstream":["CVE-2019-14822","UBUNTU-CVE-2019-14822"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4134-3"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-14822"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ibus","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ibus@1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4"}]}],"versions":["1.5.10-1ubuntu1","1.5.11-1ubuntu1","1.5.11-1ubuntu2","1.5.11-1ubuntu2.1","1.5.11-1ubuntu2.2","1.5.11-1ubuntu2.3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-ibus-1.0","binary_version":"1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4"},{"binary_name":"ibus","binary_version":"1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4"},{"binary_name":"ibus-gtk","binary_version":"1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4"},{"binary_name":"ibus-gtk3","binary_version":"1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4"},{"binary_name":"ibus-wayland","binary_version":"1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4"},{"binary_name":"libibus-1.0-5","binary_version":"1.5.11-1ubuntu2.4"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-4134-3.json","cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","cves":[{"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}],"id":"CVE-2019-14822"}]}}},{"package":{"name":"ibus","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ibus@1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3"}]}],"versions":["1.5.14-2ubuntu1","1.5.14-3ubuntu1","1.5.17-1ubuntu1","1.5.17-3ubuntu1","1.5.17-3ubuntu3","1.5.17-3ubuntu4","1.5.17-3ubuntu5","1.5.17-3ubuntu5.1","1.5.17-3ubuntu5.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-ibus-1.0","binary_version":"1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3"},{"binary_name":"ibus","binary_version":"1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3"},{"binary_name":"ibus-gtk","binary_version":"1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3"},{"binary_name":"ibus-gtk3","binary_version":"1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3"},{"binary_name":"ibus-wayland","binary_version":"1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3"},{"binary_name":"libibus-1.0-5","binary_version":"1.5.17-3ubuntu5.3"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-4134-3.json","cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","cves":[{"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}],"id":"CVE-2019-14822"}]}}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
