What is CVE-2013-0292?

The dbus_g_proxy_manager_filter function in Dbus-glib versions prior to 0.100.1 lacks proper validation of the sender for NameOwnerChanged signals. This oversight enables local users to exploit the vulnerability by sending spoofed signals, potentially allowing them to elevate their privileges and perform unauthorized actions in the system.
