#47741: dbus @1.8.16: update to 1.8.18
----------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: mschamschula@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: update | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3
Keywords: haspatch | Port: dbus
----------------------------+--------------------------------
dbus has ben updated to version 1.8.18:
{{{
The “unicorn rifts” release.
Security hardening:
• On Unix platforms, change the default configuration for the session bus
to only allow EXTERNAL authentication (secure kernel-mediated
credentials-passing), as was already done for the system bus.
This avoids falling back to DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, which relies on strongly
unpredictable pseudo-random numbers; under certain circumstances
(/dev/urandom unreadable or malloc() returns NULL), dbus could
fall back to using rand(), which does not have the desired
unpredictability.
The fallback to rand() has not been changed in this stable-branch since
the necessary code changes for correct error-handling are rather
intrusive.
If you are using D-Bus over the (unencrypted!) tcp: or nonce-tcp:
transport,
in conjunction with DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 and a shared home directory using
NFS or similar, you will need to reconfigure the session bus to accept
DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 by commenting out the <auth> element. This
configuration
is not recommended.
(fd.o #90414, Simon McVittie)
Other fixes:
• Add locking to DBusCounter's reference count and notify function
(fd.o #89297, Adrian Szyndela)
• Ensure that DBusTransport's reference count is protected by the
corresponding DBusConnection's lock (fd.o #90312, Adrian Szyndela)
• On Windows, listen on the same port for IPv4 and IPv6 (previously
broken by an endianness mistake), and fix a failure to bind TCP
sockets on approximately 1 attempt in 256 (fd.o #87999, Ralf Habacker)
• Correctly release DBusServer mutex before early-return if we run out
of memory while copying authentication mechanisms (fd.o #90021,
Ralf Habacker)
• Correctly initialize all fields of DBusTypeReader (fd.o #90021;
Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
• Fix some missing \n in verbose (debug log) messages (fd.o #90004,
Ralf Habacker)
• Clean up some memory leaks in test code (fd.o #90021, Ralf Habacker)
