+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2012-3524: Hardening for being run in a setuid
+ environment
+
+Some programs attempt to use libglib (or even libgio) when setuid.
+For a long time, GTK+ simply aborted if launched in this
+configuration, but we never had a real policy for GLib.
+
+I'm not sure whether we should advertise such support.  However, given
+that there are real-world programs that do this currently, we can make
+them safer with not too much effort.
+
+Better to fix a problem caused by an interaction between two
+components in *both* places if possible.
+
+This patch adds a private function g_check_setuid() which is used to
+first ensure we don't run an external dbus-launch binary if
+DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS isn't set.
+
+Second, we also ensure the local VFS is used in this case.  The
+gdaemonvfs extension point will end up talking to the session bus
+which is typically undesirable in a setuid context.
+
+Implementing g_check_setuid() is interesting - whether or not we're
+running in a privilege-escalated path is operating system specific.
+Note that GTK+'s code to check euid versus uid worked historically on
+Unix, more modern systems have filesystem capabilities and SELinux
+domain transitions, neither of which are captured by the uid
+comparison.
+
+On Linux/glibc, the way this works is that the kernel sets an
+AT_SECURE flag in the ELF auxiliary vector, and glibc looks for it on
+startup.  If found, then glibc sets a public-but-undocumented
+__libc_enable_secure variable which we can use.  Unfortunately, while
+it *previously* worked to check this variable, a combination of newer
+binutils and RPM break it:
+http://www.openwall.com/lists/owl-dev/2012/08/14/1
+
+So for now on Linux/glibc, we fall back to the historical Unix version
+until we get glibc fixed.
+
+On some BSD variants, there is a issetugid() function.  On other Unix
+variants, we fall back to what GTK+ has been doing.
