A flaw was found in dnf5daemon-server. Session methods on dynamically exported D-Bus session objects do not verify that the caller is the unique sender that created the session. A local attacker can modify another user's live package-management session and replace its resolved transaction plan. If the legitimate session party later authorizes execution, the root daemon may apply the attacker-chosen package operations.

Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

Until a fixed build is available, avoid leaving interactive dnf5daemon sessions open on multi-user systems where untrusted local accounts can access the system bus, and close sessions promptly after use.
