dbus 1.12.20 (2020-07-02)
=========================
The “temporary nemesis” release.
Maybe security fixes:
• On Unix, avoid a use-after-free if two usernames have the same
numeric uid. In older versions this could lead to a crash (denial of
service) or other undefined behaviour, possibly including incorrect
authorization decisions if <policy group=...> is used.
Like Unix filesystems, D-Bus' model of identity cannot distinguish
between users of different names with the same numeric uid, so this
configuration is not advisable on systems where D-Bus will be used.
Thanks to Daniel Onaca.

Other fixes:
• On Solaris and its derivatives, if a cmsg header is truncated, ensure
that we do not overrun the buffer used for fd-passing, even if the
kernel tells us to.
(dbus#304, dbus!165; Andy Fiddaman)
dbus 1.12.18 (2020-06-02)
=========================
The “telepathic vines” release.
Denial of service fixes:
• CVE-2020-12049: If a message contains more file descriptors than can
be sent, close those that did get through before reporting error.
Previously, a local attacker could cause the system dbus-daemon (or
another system service with its own DBusServer) to run out of file
descriptors, by repeatedly connecting to the server and sending fds that
would get leaked.
Thanks to Kevin Backhouse of GitHub Security Lab.
(dbus#294, GHSL-2020-057; Simon McVittie)
Other fixes:
• Fix a crash when the dbus-daemon is terminated while one or more
monitors are active (dbus#291, dbus!140; Simon McVittie)
• The dbus-send(1) man page now documents --bus and --peer instead of
the old --address synonym for --peer, which has been deprecated since
the introduction of --bus and --peer in 1.7.6
(fd.o #48816, dbus!115; Chris Morin)
• Fix a wrong environment variable name in dbus-daemon(1)
(dbus#275, dbus!122; Mubin, Philip Withnall)
• Fix formatting of dbus_message_append_args example
(dbus!126, Felipe Franciosi)
• Avoid a test failure on Linux when built in a container as uid 0, but
without the necessary privileges to increase resource limits
(dbus!58, Debian #908092; Simon McVittie)
• When building with CMake, cope with libX11 in a non-standard location
(dbus!129, Tuomo Rinne)
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.
