     4D-Bus 1.8.12 (2014-11-24)
     5==
     6
     7The “days of fuchsia passed” release.
     8
     9Fixes:
     10
     11• '''Partially revert the CVE-2014-3639 patch''' by increasing the default
     12  authentication timeout on the system bus from 5 seconds back to 30
     13  seconds, since this has been reported to cause boot regressions for
     14  some users, mostly with parallel boot ('''systemd''') on slower hardware.
     15
     16  On fast systems where local users are considered particularly hostile,
     17  administrators can return to the 5 second timeout (or any other value
     18  in milliseconds) by saving this as /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf:
     19
     20  <busconfig>
     21    <limit name="auth_timeout">5000</limit>
     22  </busconfig>
     23
     24  (fd.o #86431, Simon McVittie)
     25
     26• '''Add a message in syslog/the Journal''' when the auth_timeout is exceeded
     27  (fd.o #86431, Simon McVittie)
     28
     29• Send back an AccessDenied error if the addressed recipient is not allowed
     30  to receive a message (and in builds with assertions enabled, don't
     31  assert under the same conditions). (fd.o #86194, Jacek Bukarewicz)
     32
     33D-Bus 1.8.10 (2014-11-10)
     34==
     35
     36The “tenants with a leaking roof get priority” release.
     37
     38Security fixes:
     39
     40• Increase dbus-daemon's RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit to 65536
     41  so that CVE-2014-3636 part A cannot exhaust the system bus'
     42  file descriptors, completing the incomplete fix in 1.8.8.
     43  (CVE-2014-7824, fd.o #85105; Simon McVittie, Alban Crequy)
