Announcing D-Bus 1.9.10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

The “sad cyborgs” release.

As with all the 1.odd.x releases, this is a development release for
people who live in the future. Stable distributions should use the 1.8
branch instead.

git tag: dbus-1.9.10

Security fixes merged from 1.8.16:

• Do not allow non-uid-0 processes to send forged ActivationFailure
  messages. On Linux systems with systemd activation, this would
  allow a local denial of service: unprivileged processes could
  flood the bus with these forged messages, winning the race with
  the actual service activation and causing an error reply
  to be sent back when service auto-activation was requested.
  This does not prevent the real service from being started,
  so the attack only works while the real service is not running.
  (CVE-2015-0245, fd.o #88811; Simon McVittie)

Enhancements:

• The new Monitoring interface in the dbus-daemon lets dbus-monitor and
  similar tools receive messages without altering the security
  properties of the system bus, by calling the new BecomeMonitor method
  on a private connection. This bypasses the normal <allow> and <deny>
  rules entirely, so to preserve normal message-privacy assumptions,
  only root is allowed to do this on the system bus. Restricted
  environments, such as Linux with LSMs, should lock down access to the
  Monitoring interface. (fd.o #46787, Simon McVittie)

• dbus-monitor uses BecomeMonitor to capture more traffic, if the
  dbus-daemon supports it and access permissions allow it.
  It still supports the previous approach ("eavesdropping" match rules)
  for compatibility with older bus daemons. (fd.o #46787, Simon)

• dbus-monitor can now log the message stream as binary data for later
  analysis, with either no extra framing beyond the normal D-Bus
  headers, or libpcap-compatible framing treating each D-Bus message
  as a captured packet. (fd.o #46787, Simon)

Other fixes:

• Fix some CMake build regressions (fd.o #88964, Ralf Habacker)

• On Unix, forcibly terminate regression tests after 60 seconds to
  prevent them from blocking continuous integration frameworks
  (fd.o #46787, Simon)
