New Point version
[http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/dbus-1.8.16.tar.gz]
[http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2015-February/016554.html]
{{{
...
This is a security update release for the current stable branch,
1.8.x. Please upgrade unless you have a reason to keep using an older
branch.
...
Security fixes:
• Do not allow non-uid-0 processes to send forged ActivationFailure
messages. On Linux systems with systemd activation, this would
allow a local denial of service: unprivileged processes could
flood the bus with these forged messages, winning the race with
the actual service activation and causing an error reply
to be sent back when service auto-activation was requested.
This does not prevent the real service from being started,
so it only works while the real service is not running.
(CVE-2015-0245, fd.o #88811; Simon McVittie)
