MGASA-2012-0282
Date: 	October 6th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated dbus packages fix security vulnerability:

It was discovered that the D-Bus library honored environment settings
even when running with elevated privileges. A local attacker could
possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges, by setting specific
environment variables before running a setuid or setgid application
linked against the D-Bus library (libdbus) (CVE-2012-3524).
