ibus vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 19.04
– Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

IBus would allow local users to capture key strokes of other locally logged
in users.

Software Description:
– ibus: Intelligent Input Bus – core

Details:

Simon McVittie discovered that IBus did not enforce appropriate access
controls on its private D-Bus socket. A local unprivileged user who
discovers the IBus socket address of another user could exploit this to
capture the key strokes of the other user.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 19.04:
ibus 1.5.19-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
ibus 1.5.17-3ubuntu5.1

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
ibus 1.5.11-1ubuntu2.2

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
