ConsoleKit's D-Bus system.d config should be updated to fix
non-deterministic allow/deny for messages with no interface (related to
CVE-2008-4311).

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19020 contains a patch from
Colin Walters. (If you consider bugs.debian.org to be the upstream bug
tracker for dnsmasq, please advertise this fact in documentation; Colin

Hi Simon.

I got email from Colin which I acknowleged, and his fix is in the next 
(upstream) dnsmasq release. It wasn't clear from his mail or from this 
bug if there are implications for Lenny. It is necessary to update the 
dnsmasq-2.45 package in Lenny?


Cheers,

Simon.

Thanks, please close this bug in the appropriate version. We filed bugs
for fdo-18961 because it wasn't entirely clear whether they blocked the
release of the secure-by-default dbus version (in which case we'd have
upgraded them to serious). In practice it seems that they're
not RC and there's no need to backport this to lenny.

Testing dnsmasq 2.45's D-Bus functionality with a version of D-Bus where
CVE-2008-4311 has been fixed (see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/01/msg00082.html) would be
very useful; I've done some trivial testing on a freshly installed lenny
laptop, but you know what's meant to happen much better than I do!

In the unlikely event that it turns out to have regressions, please escalate
this bug to serious, and coordinate with me or pkg-utopia to get it suitably
tagged and fixed before we push the secure-by-default version of dbus.

Thanks,
Simon

Sorry, that should be http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961.
