I am an upstream and Debian D-Bus maintainer, and the reporter of
CVE-2014-8156. If Sebastian's changes for jessie match the ones for
wheezy that are attached to #776617, then I confirm that they are
reasonable patterns to address CVE-2014-8156.

I do not know enough about fso to know whether they will cause fso
to regress (disallowing more than they should) or whether they are
sufficient to make fso *itself* secure against malicious local users
(which is probably not a supported use-case anyway), but they do stop
fso from making *other things* insecure.

In particular, nothing seems to be allowed that was not already allowed.

Regards,
    S
