Subject: CVS commit: pkgsrc/sysutils/dbus
From: Thomas Klausner
Date: 2016-10-10 15:16:44
Message id: 20161010131644.7220FFBD2@cvs.NetBSD.org
Log Message:
Updated dbus to 1.10.12.
D-Bus 1.10.12 (2016-10-10)
==
The ânot excessively inhospitableâ release.
Security fixes:
⢠Do not treat ActivationFailure message received from root-owned systemd
name as a format string. In principle this is a security vulnerability,
but we do not believe it is exploitable in practice, because only
privileged processes can own the org.freedesktop.systemd1 bus name, and
systemd does not appear to send activation failures that contain "%".
Please note that this probably *was* exploitable in dbus versions
older than 1.6.30, 1.8.16 and 1.9.10 due to a missing check which at
the time was only thought to be a denial of service vulnerability
(CVE-2015-0245). If you are still running one of those versions,
patch or upgrade immediately.
(fd.o #98157, Simon McVittie)
Other fixes:
⢠Harden dbus-daemon against malicious or incorrect ActivationFailure
messages by rejecting them if they do not come from a privileged
process, or if systemd activation is not enabled
(fd.o #98157, Simon McVittie)
⢠Avoid undefined behaviour when setting reply serial number without going
via union DBusBasicValue (fd.o #98035, Marc Mutz)
⢠autogen.sh: fail cleanly if autoconf fails (Simon McVittie)
