Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

DBUS-1 was upgraded to upstream release 1.8.

This brings the version of dbus to the latest stable release from an unstable snapshot 1.7.4 that is know to have several regressions

- Upstream changes since 1.7.4 :

+ Security fixes :

- Do not accept an extra fd in the padding of a cmsg message, which could lead to a 4-byte heap buffer overrun. (CVE-2014-3635, fdo#83622; Simon McVittie)

- Reduce default for maximum Unix file descriptors passed per message from 1024 to 16, preventing a uid with the default maximum number of connections from exhausting the system bus' file descriptors under Linux's default rlimit. Distributors or system administrators with a restrictive fd limit may wish to reduce these limits further. Additionally, on Linux this prevents a second denial of service in which the dbus-daemon can be made to exceed the maximum number of fds per sendmsg() and disconnect the process that would have received them.
(CVE-2014-3636, fdo#82820; Alban Crequy)

- Disconnect connections that still have a fd pending unmarshalling after a new configurable limit, pending_fd_timeout (defaulting to 150 seconds), removing the possibility of creating an abusive connection that cannot be disconnected by setting up a circular reference to a connection's file descriptor.
(CVE-2014-3637, fdo#80559; Alban Crequy)

- Reduce default for maximum pending replies per connection from 8192 to 128, mitigating an algorithmic complexity denial-of-service attack (CVE-2014-3638, fdo#81053; Alban Crequy)

- Reduce default for authentication timeout on the system bus from 30 seconds to 5 seconds, avoiding denial of service by using up all unauthenticated connection slots; and when all unauthenticated connection slots are used up, make new connection attempts block instead of disconnecting them. (CVE-2014-3639, fdo#80919; Alban Crequy)

- On Linux >0 2.6.37-rc4, if sendmsg() fails with ETOOMANYREFS, silently drop the message. This prevents an attack in which a malicious client can make dbus-daemon disconnect a system service, which is a local denial of service. (fdo#80163, CVE-2014-3532;
Alban Crequy)

- Track remaining Unix file descriptors correctly when more than one message in quick succession contains fds.
This prevents another attack in which a malicious client can make dbus-daemon disconnect a system service.
(fdo#79694, fdo#80469, CVE-2014-3533; Alejandro Martínez Suárez, Simon McVittie, Alban Crequy)

- Alban Crequy at Collabora Ltd. discovered and fixed a denial-of-service flaw in dbus-daemon, part of the reference implementation of D-Bus. Additionally, in highly unusual environments the same flaw could lead to a side channel between processes that should not be able to communicate. (CVE-2014-3477, fdo#78979)

+ Other fixes and enhancements :

- Check for libsystemd from systemd >= 209, falling back to the older separate libraries if not found (Umut Tezduyar Lindskog, Simon McVittie)

- On Linux, use prctl() to disable core dumps from a test executable that deliberately raises SIGSEGV to test dbus-daemon's handling of that condition (fdo#83772, Simon McVittie)

- Fix compilation with --enable-stats (fdo#81043, Gentoo #507232; Alban Crequy)

- Improve documentation for running tests on Windows (fdo#41252, Ralf Habacker)

- When dbus-launch --exit-with-session starts a dbus-daemon but then cannot attach to a session, kill the dbus-daemon as intended (fdo#74698, Роман
Донченко
)

- in the CMake build system, add some hints for Linux users cross-compiling Windows D-Bus binaries to be able to run tests under Wine (fdo#41252, Ralf Habacker)

- add Documentation key to dbus.service (fdo#77447, Cameron Norman)

- in 'dbus-uuidgen --ensure', try to copy systemd's /etc/machine-id to /var/lib/dbus/machine-id instead of generating an entirely new ID (fdo#77941, Simon McVittie)

- if dbus-launch receives an X error very quickly, do not kill unrelated processes (fdo#74698, Роман
Донченко
)

- on Windows, allow up to 8K connections to the dbus-daemon, instead of the previous 64 (fdo#71297;
Cristian Onet, Ralf Habacker)

- cope with \r\n newlines in regression tests, since on Windows, dbus-daemon.exe uses text mode (fdo#75863, Руслан
Ижбулато
в)

- Enhance the CMake build system to check for GLib and compile/run a subset of the regression tests (fdo#41252, fdo#73495; Ralf Habacker)

- don't rely on va_copy(), use DBUS_VA_COPY() wrapper (fdo#72840, Ralf Habacker)

- fix compilation of systemd journal support on older systemd versions where sd-journal.h doesn't include syslog.h (fdo#73455, Ralf Habacker)

- fix compilation on older MSVC versions by including stdlib.h (fdo#73455, Ralf Habacker)

- Allow <allow_anonymous/> to appear in an included configuration file (fdo#73475, Matt Hoosier)

- If the tests crash with an assertion failure, they no longer default to blocking for a debugger to be attached. Set DBUS_BLOCK_ON_ABORT in the environment if you want the old behaviour.

- To improve debuggability, the dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-eavesdrop tests can be run with an external dbus-daemon by setting DBUS_TEST_DAEMON_ADDRESS in the environment. Test-cases that require an unusually-configured dbus-daemon are skipped.

- don't require messages with no INTERFACE to be dispatched (fdo#68597, Simon McVittie)

- document 'tcp:bind=...' and 'nonce-tcp:bind=...' (fdo#72301, Chengwei Yang)

- define 'listenable' and 'connectable' addresses, and discuss the difference (fdo#61303, Simon McVittie)

- support printing Unix file descriptors in dbus-send, dbus-monitor (fdo#70592, Robert Ancell)

- don't install systemd units if --disable-systemd is given (fdo#71818, Chengwei Yang)

- don't leak memory on out-of-memory while listing activatable or active services (fdo#71526, Radoslaw Pajak)

- fix undefined behaviour in a regression test (fdo#69924, DreamNik)

- escape Unix socket addresses correctly (fdo#46013, Chengwei Yang)

- on SELinux systems, don't assume that SECCLASS_DBUS, DBUS__ACQUIRE_SVC and DBUS__SEND_MSG are numerically equal to their values in the reference policy (fdo#88719, osmond sun)

- define PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION if missing from MinGW < 4 headers (fdo#71366, Matt Fischer)

- define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to avoid conflicts between winsock.h and winsock2.h (fdo#71405, Matt Fischer)

- do not return failure from _dbus_read_nonce() with no error set, preventing a potential crash (fdo#72298, Chengwei Yang)

- on BSD systems, avoid some O(1)-per-process memory and fd leaks in kqueue, preventing test failures (fdo#69332, fdo#72213; Chengwei Yang)

- fix warning spam on Hurd by not trying to set SO_REUSEADDR on Unix sockets, which doesn't do anything anyway on at least Linux and FreeBSD (fdo#69492, Simon McVittie)

- fix use of TCP sockets on FreeBSD and Hurd by tolerating EINVAL from sendmsg() with SCM_CREDS (retrying with plain send()), and looking for credentials more correctly (fdo#69492, Simon McVittie)

- ensure that tests run with a temporary XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to avoid getting mixed up in XDG/systemd 'user sessions' (fdo#61301, Simon McVittie)

- refresh cached policy rules for existing connections when bus configuration changes (fdo#39463, Chengwei Yang)

- If systemd support is enabled, libsystemd-journal is now required.

- When activating a non-systemd service under systemd, annotate its stdout/stderr with its bus name in the Journal. Known limitation: because the socket is opened before forking, the process will still be logged as if it had dbus-daemon's process ID and user ID. (fdo#68559, Chengwei Yang)

- Document more configuration elements in dbus-daemon(1) (fdo#69125, Chengwei Yang)

- Don't leak string arrays or fds if dbus_message_iter_get_args_valist() unpacks them and then encounters an error (fdo#21259, Chengwei Yang)

- If compiled with libaudit, retain CAP_AUDIT_WRITE so we can write disallowed method calls to the audit log, fixing a regression in 1.7.6 (fdo#49062, Colin Walters)

- path_namespace='/' in match rules incorrectly matched nothing; it now matches everything. (fdo#70799, Simon McVittie)

- Directory change notification via dnotify on Linux is no longer supported; it hadn't compiled successfully since 2010 in any case. If you don't have inotify (Linux) or kqueue (*BSD), you will need to send SIGHUP to the dbus-daemon when its configuration changes. (fdo#33001, Chengwei Yang)

- Compiling with --disable-userdb-cache is no longer supported; it didn't work since at least 2008, and would lead to an extremely slow dbus-daemon even it worked.
(fdo#15589, fdo#17133, fdo#66947; Chengwei Yang)

- The DBUS_DISABLE_ASSERTS CMake option didn't actually disable most assertions. It has been renamed to DBUS_DISABLE_ASSERT to be consistent with the Autotools build system. (fdo#66142, Chengwei Yang)

- --with-valgrind=auto enables Valgrind instrumentation if and only if valgrind headers are available. The default is still

--with-valgrind=no. (fdo#56925, Simon McVittie)

- Platforms with no 64-bit integer type are no longer supported. (fdo#65429, Simon McVittie)

- GNU make is now (documented to be) required. (fdo#48277, Simon McVittie)

- Full test coverage no longer requires dbus-glib, although the tests do not exercise the shared library (only a static copy) if dbus-glib is missing.
(fdo#68852, Simon McVittie)

- D-Bus Specification 0.22

- Document GetAdtAuditSessionData() and GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() (fdo#54445, Simon)

- Fix example .service file (fdo#66481, Chengwei Yang)

- Don't claim D-Bus is 'low-latency' (lower than what?), just give factual statements about it supporting async use (fdo#65141, Justin Lee)

- Document the contents of .service files, and the fact that system services' filenames are constrained (fdo#66608; Simon McVittie, Chengwei Yang)

- Be thread-safe by default on all platforms, even if dbus_threads_init_default() has not been called. For compatibility with older libdbus, library users should continue to call dbus_threads_init_default(): it is harmless to do so. (fdo#54972, Simon McVittie)

- Add GetConnectionCredentials() method (fdo#54445, Simon)

- New API: dbus_setenv(), a simple wrapper around setenv(). Note that this is not thread-safe. (fdo#39196, Simon)

- Add dbus-send --peer=ADDRESS (connect to a given peer-to-peer connection, like --address=ADDRESS in previous versions) and dbus-send --bus=ADDRESS (connect to a given bus, like dbus-monitor

--address=ADDRESS). dbus-send --address still exists for backwards compatibility, but is no longer documented.
(fdo#48816, Andrey Mazo)

- 'dbus-daemon --nofork' is allowed on Windows again.
(fdo#68852, Simon McVittie)

- Avoid an infinite busy-loop if a signal interrupts waitpid() (fdo#68945, Simon McVittie)

- Clean up memory for parent nodes when objects are unexported (fdo#60176, Thomas Fitzsimmons)

- Make dbus_connection_set_route_peer_messages(x, FALSE) behave as documented. Previously, it assumed its second parameter was TRUE. (fdo#69165, Chengwei Yang)

- Escape addresses containing non-ASCII characters correctly (fdo#53499, Chengwei Yang)

- Document <servicedir> search order correctly (fdo#66994, Chengwei Yang)

- Don't crash on 'dbus-send --session / x.y.z' which regressed in 1.7.4. (fdo#65923, Chengwei Yang)

- If malloc() returns NULL in _dbus_string_init() or similar, don't free an invalid pointer if the string is later freed (fdo#65959, Chengwei Yang)

- If malloc() returns NULL in dbus_set_error(), don't va_end() a va_list that was never va_start()ed (fdo#66300, Chengwei Yang)

- fix build failure with --enable-stats (fdo#66004, Chengwei Yang)

- fix a regression test on platforms with strict alignment (fdo#67279, Colin Walters)

- Avoid calling function parameters 'interface' since certain Windows headers have a namespace-polluting macro of that name (fdo#66493, Ivan Romanov)

- Assorted Doxygen fixes (fdo#65755, Chengwei Yang)

- Various thread-safety improvements to static variables (fdo#68610, Simon McVittie)

- Make 'make -j check' work (fdo#68852, Simon McVittie)

- Fix a NULL pointer dereference on an unlikely error path (fdo#69327, Sviatoslav Chagaev)

- Improve valgrind memory pool tracking (fdo#69326, Sviatoslav Chagaev)

- Don't over-allocate memory in dbus-monitor (fdo#69329, Sviatoslav Chagaev)

- dbus-monitor can monitor dbus-daemon < 1.5.6 again (fdo#66107, Chengwei Yang)

- If accept4() fails with EINVAL, as it can on older Linux kernels with newer glibc, try accept() instead of going into a busy-loop. (fdo#69026, Chengwei Yang)

- If socket() or socketpair() fails with EINVAL or EPROTOTYPE, for instance on Hurd or older Linux with a new glibc, try without SOCK_CLOEXEC. (fdo#69073; Pino Toscano, Chengwei Yang)

- Fix a file descriptor leak on an error code path.
(fdo#69182, Sviatoslav Chagaev)

- dbus-run-session: clear some unwanted environment variables (fdo#39196, Simon)

- dbus-run-session: compile on FreeBSD (fdo#66197, Chengwei Yang)

- Don't fail the autolaunch test if there is no DISPLAY (fdo#40352, Simon)

- Use dbus-launch from the builddir for testing, not the installed copy (fdo#37849, Chengwei Yang)

- Fix compilation if writev() is unavailable (fdo#69409, Vasiliy Balyasnyy)

- Remove broken support for LOCAL_CREDS credentials passing, and document where each credential-passing scheme is used (fdo#60340, Simon McVittie)

- Make autogen.sh work on *BSD by not assuming GNU coreutils functionality fdo#35881, fdo#69787; Chengwei Yang)

- dbus-monitor: be portable to NetBSD (fdo#69842, Chengwei Yang)

- dbus-launch: stop using non-portable asprintf (fdo#37849, Simon)

- Improve error reporting from the setuid activation helper (fdo#66728, Chengwei Yang)

- Remove unavailable command-line options from 'dbus-daemon --help' (fdo#42441, Ralf Habacker)

- Add support for looking up local TCPv4 clients' credentials on Windows XP via the undocumented AllocateAndGetTcpExTableFromStack function (fdo#66060, Ralf Habacker)

- Fix insufficient dependency-tracking (fdo#68505, Simon McVittie)

- Don't include wspiapi.h, fixing a compiler warning (fdo#68852, Simon McVittie)

- add DBUS_ENABLE_ASSERT, DBUS_ENABLE_CHECKS for less confusing conditionals (fdo#66142, Chengwei Yang)

- improve verbose-mode output (fdo#63047, Colin Walters)

- consolidate Autotools and CMake build (fdo#64875, Ralf Habacker)

- fix various unused variables, unusual build configurations etc. (fdo#65712, fdo#65990, fdo#66005, fdo#66257, fdo#69165, fdo#69410, fdo#70218; Chengwei Yang, Vasiliy Balyasnyy)
