D-Bus 1.6.8 (2012-09-28)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The "Fix one thing, break another" release.
|
||
|
||
• Follow up to CVE-2012-3524: The additional hardening
|
||
work to use __secure_getenv() as a followup to bug #52202
|
||
broke certain configurations of gnome-keyring. Given
|
||
the difficulty of making this work without extensive
|
||
changes to gnome-keyring, use of __secure_getenv() is
|
||
deferred.
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.6.6 (2012-09-28)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The "Clear the environment in your setuid binaries, please" release.
|
||
|
||
• CVE-2012-3524: Don't access environment variables (fd.o #52202)
|
||
Thanks to work and input from Colin Walters, Simon McVittie,
|
||
Geoffrey Thomas, and others.
|
||
• Unix-specific:
|
||
· Fix compilation on Solaris (fd.o #53286, Jonathan Perkin)
|
||
· Work around interdependent headers on OpenBSD by including sys/types.h
|
||
before each use of sys/socket.h (fd.o #54418, Brad Smith)
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.6.4 (2012-07-18)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
• Detect that users are "at the console" correctly when configured with
|
||
a non-default path such as --enable-console-auth-dir=/run/console
|
||
(fd.o #51521, Dave Reisner)
|
||
|
||
• Remove an incorrect assertion from DBusTransport (fd.o #51657,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Make --enable-developer default to "no" (regression in 1.6.2;
|
||
fd.o #51657, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Windows-specific:
|
||
· Launch dbus-daemon correctly if its path contains a space
|
||
(fd.o #49450, Wolfgang Baron)
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.6.2 (2012-06-27)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The "Ice Cabbage" release.
|
||
|
||
• Change how we create /var/lib/dbus so it works under Automake >= 1.11.4
|
||
(fd.o #51406, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Don't return from dbus_pending_call_set_notify with a lock held on OOM
|
||
(fd.o #51032, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Disconnect "developer mode" (assertions, verbose mode etc.) from
|
||
Automake maintainer mode. D-Bus developers should now configure with
|
||
--enable-developer. Automake maintainer mode is now on by default;
|
||
distributions can disable it with --disable-maintainer-mode.
|
||
(fd.o #34671, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Automatically define DBUS_STATIC_BUILD in static-only Autotools builds,
|
||
fixing linking when targeting Windows (fd.o #33973; william, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Unix-specific:
|
||
· Check for libpthread under CMake on Unix (fd.o #47237, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.6.0 (2012-06-05)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The “soul of this machine has improved” release.
|
||
|
||
This version starts a new stable branch of D-Bus: only bug fixes will
|
||
be accepted into 1.6.x. Other changes will now go to the 1.7.x branch.
|
||
|
||
Summary of changes since 1.4.x:
|
||
|
||
• New requirements
|
||
· PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE on Unix
|
||
· compiler support for 64-bit integers (int64_t or equivalent)
|
||
|
||
• D-Bus Specification v0.19
|
||
|
||
• New dbus-daemon features
|
||
· <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/> rules allow the service to
|
||
own names like com.example.Service.Instance3
|
||
· optional systemd integration when checking at_console policies
|
||
· --nopidfile option, mainly for use by systemd
|
||
· path_namespace and arg0namespace may appear in match rules
|
||
· eavesdropping is disabled unless the match rule contains eavesdrop=true
|
||
|
||
• New public API
|
||
· functions to validate various string types (dbus_validate_path() etc.)
|
||
· dbus_type_is_valid()
|
||
· DBusBasicValue, a union of every basic type
|
||
|
||
• Bug fixes
|
||
· removed an unsafe reimplementation of recursive mutexes
|
||
· dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has far too many file descriptors
|
||
· dbus-daemon.exe --print-address works on Windows
|
||
· all the other bug fixes from 1.4.20
|
||
|
||
• Other major implementation changes
|
||
· on Linux, dbus-daemon uses epoll if supported, for better scalability
|
||
· dbus_threads_init() ignores its argument and behaves like
|
||
dbus_threads_init_default() instead
|
||
· removed the per-connection link cache, improving dbus-daemon performance
|
||
|
||
• Developer features
|
||
· optional Valgrind instrumentation (--with-valgrind)
|
||
· optional Stats interface on the dbus-daemon (--enable-stats)
|
||
· optionally abort whenever malloc() fails (--enable-embedded-tests
|
||
and export DBUS_MALLOC_CANNOT_FAIL=1)
|
||
|
||
Changes since 1.5.12:
|
||
|
||
• Be more careful about monotonic time vs. real time, fixing DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1
|
||
spec-compliance (fd.o #48580, David Zeuthen)
|
||
|
||
• Don't use install(1) within the source/build trees, fixing the build as
|
||
non-root when using OpenBSD install(1) (fd.o #48217, Antoine Jacoutot)
|
||
|
||
• Add missing commas in some tcp and nonce-tcp addresses, and remove
|
||
an unused duplicate copy of the nonce-tcp transport in Windows builds
|
||
(fd.o #45896, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.5.12 (2012-03-27)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The “Big Book of Science” release.
|
||
|
||
• Add public API to validate various string types:
|
||
dbus_validate_path(), dbus_validate_interface(), dbus_validate_member(),
|
||
dbus_validate_error_name(), dbus_validate_bus_name(), dbus_validate_utf8()
|
||
(fd.o #39549, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Turn DBusBasicValue into public API so bindings don't need to invent their
|
||
own "union of everything" type (fd.o #11191, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Enumerate data files included in the build rather than using find(1)
|
||
(fd.o #33840, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Add support for policy rules like <allow own_prefix="com.example.Service"/>
|
||
in dbus-daemon (fd.o #46273, Alban Crequy)
|
||
|
||
• Windows-specific:
|
||
· make dbus-daemon.exe --print-address (and --print-pid) work again
|
||
on Win32, but not on WinCE (fd.o #46049, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· fix duplicate case value when compiling against mingw-w64
|
||
(fd.o #47321, Andoni Morales Alastruey)
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.5.10 (2012-02-21)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The "fire in Delerium" release.
|
||
|
||
On Unix platforms, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE (as specified in POSIX 2008 Base
|
||
and SUSv2) is now required.
|
||
|
||
• D-Bus Specification 0.19:
|
||
· Formally define unique connection names and well-known bus names,
|
||
and document best practices for interface, bus, member and error names,
|
||
and object paths (fd.o #37095, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Document the search path for session and system services on Unix, and
|
||
where they should be installed by build systems (fd.o #21620, fd.o #35306;
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Document the systemd transport (fd.o #35232, Lennart Poettering)
|
||
|
||
• Make dbus_threads_init() use the same built-in threading implementation
|
||
as dbus_threads_init_default(); the user-specified primitives that it
|
||
takes as a parameter are now ignored (fd.o #43744, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Allow all configured auth mechanisms, not just one (fd.o #45106,
|
||
Pavel Strashkin)
|
||
|
||
• Improve cmake build system (Ralf Habacker):
|
||
· simplify XML parser dependencies (fd.o #41027)
|
||
· generate build timestamp (fd.o #41029)
|
||
· only create batch files on Windows
|
||
· fix option and cache syntax
|
||
· add help-options target
|
||
· share dbus-arch-deps.h.in with autotools rather than having our
|
||
own version (fd.o #41033)
|
||
|
||
• Build tests successfully with older GLib, as found in e.g. Debian 6
|
||
(fd.o #41219, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Avoid use of deprecated GThread API (fd.o #44413, Martin Pitt)
|
||
|
||
• Build documentation correctly if man2html doesn't support filenames on
|
||
its command-line (fd.o #43875, Jack Nagel)
|
||
|
||
• Improve test coverage. To get even more coverage, run the tests with
|
||
DBUS_TEST_SLOW=1 (fd.o #38285, #42811; Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Reduce the size of the shared library by moving functionality only used
|
||
by dbus-daemon, tests etc. into their internal library and deleting
|
||
unused code (fd.o #34976, #39759; Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Add dbus-daemon --nopidfile option, overriding the configuration, for
|
||
setups where the default configuration must include <pidfile/> to avoid
|
||
breaking traditional init, but the pid file is in fact unnecessary; use
|
||
it under systemd to improve startup time a bit (fd.o #45520,
|
||
Lennart Poettering)
|
||
|
||
• Optionally (if configured --with-valgrind) add instrumentation to debug
|
||
libdbus and associated tools more meaningfully under Valgrind
|
||
(fd.o #37286, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Improve the dbus-send(1) man page (fd.o #14005, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Make dbus-protocol.h compatible with C++11 (fd.o #46147, Marc Mutz)
|
||
|
||
• If tests are enabled and DBUS_MALLOC_CANNOT_FAIL is set in the environment,
|
||
abort on failure to malloc() (like GLib does), to turn runaway memory leaks
|
||
into a debuggable core-dump if a resource limit is applied (fd.o #41048,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Don't crash if realloc() returns NULL in a debug build (fd.o #41048,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Unix-specific:
|
||
· Replace our broken reimplementation of recursive mutexes, which has
|
||
been broken since 2006, with an ordinary pthreads recursive mutex
|
||
(fd.o #43744; Sigmund Augdal, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Use epoll(7) for a more efficient main loop in Linux; equivalent patches
|
||
welcomed for other OSs' equivalents like kqueue, /dev/poll, or Solaris
|
||
event ports (fd.o #33337; Simon McVittie, Ralf Habacker)
|
||
· When running under systemd, use it instead of ConsoleKit to check
|
||
whether to apply at_console policies (fd.o #39609, Lennart Poettering)
|
||
· Avoid a highly unlikely fd leak (fd.o #29881, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Don't close invalid fd -1 if getaddrinfo fails (fd.o #37258, eXeC001er)
|
||
· Don't touch ~/.dbus and ~/.dbus-keyrings when running 'make installcheck'
|
||
(fd.o #41218, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Stop pretending we respect XDG_DATA_DIRS for system services: the launch
|
||
helper doesn't obey environment variables to avoid privilege escalation
|
||
attacks, so make the system bus follow the same rules
|
||
(fd.o #21620, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Windows-specific:
|
||
· Find the dbus-daemon executable next to the shared library (fd.o #41558;
|
||
Jesper Dam, Ralf Habacker)
|
||
· Remove the faulty implementation of _dbus_condvar_wake_all (fd.o #44609,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.5.8 (2011-09-21)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The "cross-metering" release.
|
||
|
||
In addition to dead code removal and refactoring, this release contains all
|
||
of the bugfixes from 1.4.16.
|
||
|
||
• Clean up dead code, and make more warnings fatal in development builds
|
||
(fd.o #39231, fd.o #41012; Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• If full test coverage is requested via --enable-tests, strictly require
|
||
Python, pygobject and dbus-python, which are required by some tests; if not,
|
||
and Python is missing, skip those tests rather than failing
|
||
(fd.o #37847, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• When using cmake, provide the same version-info API in the installed headers
|
||
as for autotools (DBUS_VERSION, etc.) (fd.o #40905, Ralf Habacker)
|
||
|
||
• Add a regression test for fd.o #38005 (fd.o #39836, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Make "NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh" not run configure (Colin Walters)
|
||
|
||
• Add _DBUS_STATIC_ASSERT and use it to check invariants (fd.o #39636,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Fix duplicates in authors list (Ralf Habacker)
|
||
|
||
• Fix broken links from dbus-tutorial.html if $(htmldir) != $(docdir)
|
||
(fd.o #39879, Chris Mayo)
|
||
|
||
• Fix a small memory leak, and a failure to report errors, when updating
|
||
a service file entry for activation (fd.o #39230, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Unix-specific:
|
||
· Clean up (non-abstract) Unix sockets on bus daemon exit (fd.o #38656;
|
||
Brian Cameron, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· On systems that use libcap-ng but not systemd, drop supplemental groups
|
||
when switching to the daemon user (Red Hat #726953, Steve Grubb)
|
||
· Make the cmake build work again on GNU platforms (fd.o #29228,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Fix compilation on non-C99 systems that have inttypes.h but not stdint.h,
|
||
like Solaris (fd.o #40313, Dagobert Michelsen)
|
||
· Define CMSG_ALIGN, CMSG_LEN, CMSG_SPACE on Solaris < 10
|
||
(fd.o #40235, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Cope with Unixes that don't have LOG_PERROR, like Solaris 10
|
||
(fd.o #39987, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Cope with platforms whose vsnprintf violates both POSIX and C99, like
|
||
Tru64, IRIX and HP-UX (fd.o #11668, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Windows-specific:
|
||
· Fix compilation on MSVC, which doesn't understand "inline" with its
|
||
C99 meaning (fd.o #40000; Ralf Habacker, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Fix misuse of GPid in test/dbus-daemon.c (fd.o #40003, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Fix cross-compilation to Windows with Automake (fd.o #40003, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.5.6 (2011-07-29)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The "weird, gravy-like aftertaste" release.
|
||
|
||
In addition to new features and refactoring, this release contains all of the
|
||
bugfixes from 1.4.14.
|
||
|
||
Potentially incompatible (Bustle and similar debugging tools will need
|
||
changes to work as intended):
|
||
|
||
• Do not allow match rules to "eavesdrop" (receive messages intended for a
|
||
different recipient) by mistake: eavesdroppers must now opt-in to this
|
||
behaviour by putting "eavesdrop='true'" in the match rule, which will
|
||
not have any practical effect on buses where eavesdropping is not allowed
|
||
(fd.o #37890, Cosimo Alfarano)
|
||
|
||
Other changes:
|
||
|
||
• D-Bus Specification version 0.18 (fd.o #37890, fd.o #39450, fd.o #38252;
|
||
Cosimo Alfarano, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· add the "eavesdrop" keyword to match rules
|
||
· define eavesdropping, unicast messages and broadcast messages
|
||
· stop claiming that match rules are needed to match unicast messages to you
|
||
· promote the type system to be a top-level section
|
||
|
||
• Use DBUS_ERROR_OBJECT_PATH_IN_USE if dbus_connection_try_register_object_path
|
||
or dbus_connection_try_register_fallback fails, not ...ADDRESS_IN_USE,
|
||
and simplify object-path registration (fd.o #38874, Jiří Klimeš)
|
||
|
||
• Consistently use atomic operations on everything that is ever manipulated
|
||
via atomic ops, as was done for changes to DBusConnection's refcount in
|
||
1.4.12 (fd.o #38005, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Fix a file descriptor leak when connecting to a TCP socket (fd.o #37258,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Make "make check" in a clean tree work, by not running tests until
|
||
test data has been set up (fd.o #34405, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• The dbus-daemon no longer busy-loops if it has a very large number of file
|
||
descriptors (fd.o #23194, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Refactor message flow through dispatching to avoid locking violations if
|
||
the bus daemon's message limit is hit; remove the per-connection link cache,
|
||
which was meant to improve performance, but now reduces it (fd.o #34393,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Some cmake fixes (Ralf Habacker)
|
||
|
||
• Remove dead code, mainly from DBusString (fd.o #38570, fd.o #39610;
|
||
Simon McVittie, Lennart Poettering)
|
||
|
||
• Stop storing two extra byte order indicators in each D-Bus message
|
||
(fd.o #38287, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Add an optional Stats interface which can be used to get statistics from
|
||
a running dbus-daemon if enabled at configure time with --enable-stats
|
||
(fd.o #34040, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Fix various typos (fd.o #27227, fd.o #38284; Sascha Silbe, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Documentation (fd.o #36156, Simon McVittie):
|
||
· let xsltproc be overridden as usual: ./configure XSLTPROC=myxsltproc
|
||
· install more documentation automatically, including man2html output
|
||
· put dbus.devhelp in the right place (it must go in ${htmldir})
|
||
|
||
• Unix-specific:
|
||
· look for system services in /lib/dbus-1/system-services in addition to all
|
||
the other well-known locations; note that this should always be /lib,
|
||
even on platforms where shared libraries on the root FS would go in /lib64,
|
||
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or similar (fd.o #35229, Lennart Poettering)
|
||
· opt-in to fd passing on Solaris (fd.o #33465, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Windows-specific (Ralf Habacker):
|
||
· fix use of a mutex for autolaunch server detection
|
||
· don't crash on malloc failure in _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.5.4 (2011-06-10)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
Security (local denial of service):
|
||
|
||
• Byte-swap foreign-endian messages correctly, preventing a long-standing
|
||
local DoS if foreign-endian messages are relayed through the dbus-daemon
|
||
(backporters: this is git commit c3223ba6c401ba81df1305851312a47c485e6cd7)
|
||
(CVE-2011-2200, fd.o #38120, Debian #629938; Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
New things:
|
||
|
||
• The constant to use for an infinite timeout now has a name,
|
||
DBUS_TIMEOUT_INFINITE. It is numerically equivalent to 0x7fffffff (INT32_MAX)
|
||
which can be used for source compatibility with older versions of libdbus.
|
||
|
||
• If GLib and DBus-GLib are already installed, more tests will be built,
|
||
providing better coverage. The new tests can also be installed via
|
||
./configure --enable-installed-tests
|
||
for system integration testing, if required. (fd.o #34570, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
Changes:
|
||
|
||
• Consistently use atomic operations for the DBusConnection's refcount,
|
||
fixing potential threading problems (fd.o #38005, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Don't use -Wl,--gc-sections by default: in practice the size decrease is
|
||
small (300KiB on x86-64) and it frequently doesn't work in unusual
|
||
toolchains. To optimize for minimum installed size, you should benchmark
|
||
various possibilities for CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, and set the best flags for
|
||
your particular toolchain at configure time. (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Use #!/bin/sh for run-with-tmp-session-bus.sh, making it work on *BSD
|
||
(fd.o #35880, Timothy Redaelli)
|
||
|
||
• Use ln -fs to set up dbus for systemd, which should fix reinstallation
|
||
when not using a DESTDIR (fd.o #37870, Simon McVittie)
|
||
|
||
• Windows-specific changes:
|
||
· don't try to build dbus-daemon-launch-helper (fd.o #37838, Mark Brand)
|
||
|
||
D-Bus 1.5.2 (2011-06-01)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
The "Boar Hunter" release.
|
||
|
||
Notes for distributors:
|
||
|
||
This version of D-Bus no longer uses -fPIE by default. Distributions wishing
|
||
to harden the dbus-daemon and dbus-launch-helper can re-enable this if their
|
||
toolchain supports it reliably, via something like:
|
||
|
||
./configure CFLAGS=-fPIE LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,-z,relro"
|
||
|
||
or by using distribution-specific wrappers such as Debian's hardening-wrapper.
|
||
|
||
Changes:
|
||
|
||
• D-Bus Specification v0.17
|
||
· Reserve the extra characters used in signatures by GVariant
|
||
(fd.o #34529, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Define the ObjectManager interface (fd.o #34869, David Zeuthen)
|
||
• Don't force -fPIE: distributions and libtool know better than we do whether
|
||
it's desirable (fd.o #16621, fd.o #27215; Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Allow --disable-gc-sections, in case your toolchain offers the
|
||
-ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and -Wl,--gc-sections options
|
||
but they're broken, as seen on Solaris (fd.o #33466, Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Install dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-launch-helper in a more normal way
|
||
(fd.o #14512; Simon McVittie, loosely based on a patch from Luca Barbato)

||
• Don't force users of libdbus to be linked against -lpthread, -lrt
|
||
(fd.o #32827, Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Log system-bus activation information to syslog (fd.o #35705,
|
||
Colin Walters)
|
||

|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Make the nonce-tcp transport work on Unix (fd.o #34569, Simon McVittie)
|
||
• On Unix, if /var/lib/dbus/machine-id cannot be read, try /etc/machine-id
|
||
(fd.o #35228, Lennart Poettering)
|
||
• In the regression tests, don't report fds as "leaked" if they were open
|
||
on startup (fd.o #35173, Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Make dbus-monitor bail out if asked to monitor more than one bus,
|
||
rather than silently using the last one (fd.o #26548, Will Thompson)
|
||
• Clarify documentation (fd.o #35182, Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Clean up minor dead code and some incorrect error handling
|
||
(fd.o #33128, fd.o #29881; Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Check that compiler options are supported before using them (fd.o #19681,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Windows:
|
||
• Remove obsolete workaround for winioctl.h (fd.o #35083, Ralf Habacker)

· Add support for path_namespace and arg0namespace in match rules
|
||
(fd.o #24317, #34870; Will Thompson, David Zeuthen, Simon McVittie)
|
||
· Make argNpath support object paths, not just object-path-like strings,
|
||
and document it better (fd.o #31818, Will Thompson)
|
||
• Let the bus daemon implement more than one interface (fd.o #33757,
|
||
Simon McVittie)
|
||
• Optimize _dbus_string_replace_len to reduce waste (fd.o #21261,
|
||
Roberto Guido)

|
||
• Raise UnknownObject instead of UnknownMethod for calls to methods on
|
||
paths that are not part of the object tree, and UnknownInterface for calls
|
||
to unknown interfaces in the bus daemon (fd.o #34527, Lennart Poettering)
|
||
|
||

|
||
in embedded environments (fd.o #19997, NB#219964; Simon McVittie)
|
||

|
||
D-Bus 1.4.4 (2010-02-17)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
• Switch back to using even micro versions for stable releases; 1.4.1
|
||
should have been called 1.4.2, so skip that version number
|
||
• Don't leave bad file descriptors being watched when spawning processes,
|
||
which could result in a busy-loop (fd.o #32992, NB#200248; possibly

Debian #230231)
|
||
• Don't distribute generated files that embed our builddir (fd.o #30285,

|
||
D-Bus 1.4.1 (20 December 2010)
|
||
==
|
||
|
||
• Fix for CVE-2010-4352: sending messages with excessively-nested variants can
|
||
crash the bus. The existing restriction to 64-levels of nesting previously
|
||
only applied to the static type signature; now it also applies to dynamic
|
||
nesting using variants. Thanks to Rémi Denis-Courmont for discoving this
|
||
issue.
|
||
• OS X portability fixes, including launchd support.
|
||
• Windows autolaunch improvements.
|
||
• Various bug fixes.

||
==
|
||
- ability for dbus-send to send to any bus (--address)
|
||
- file descriptor passing on Unix socket transports
|
||
- use of GCC atomic intrinsics for better processor support
|
||
(requires -march=i486 or above for x86 compilation)
|
||
- thread-safe FD_CLOEXEC setting on recent Linux kernels (2.6.24-27 and up)
|
||
and glibc (2.9 for pipe2 and 2.10 for accept4)
|
||
- feature negotiation in the bus daemon
