Description Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-06-12 07:28:33 UTC
dbus 1.12.16 (2019-06-11)
=========================

The “tree cat” release.

Security fixes:

• CVE-2019-12749: Do not attempt to carry out DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1
  authentication for identities that differ from the user running the
  DBusServer. Previously, a local attacker could manipulate symbolic
  links in their own home directory to bypass authentication and connect
  to a DBusServer with elevated privileges. The standard system and
  session dbus-daemons in their default configuration were immune to this
  attack because they did not allow DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, but third-party
  users of DBusServer such as Upstart could be vulnerable.
  Thanks to Joe Vennix of Apple Information Security.
