Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in DBus.

Software Description:
- dbus: simple interprocess messaging system

Details:

errors to the service instead of the client when enforcing permissions. A
local user can use this issue to possibly deny access to the service.
(CVE-2014-3477)

Alban Crequy discovered that dbus-daemon incorrectly handled certain file
descriptors. A local attacker could use this issue to cause services or
clients to disconnect, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3532,
