- Update to 1.12.20
* On Unix, avoid a use-after-free if two usernames have the same
numeric uid. In older versions this could lead to a crash (denial of
service) or other undefined behaviour, possibly including incorrect
authorization decisions if <policy group=...> is used.
Like Unix filesystems, D-Bus' model of identity cannot distinguish
between users of different names with the same numeric uid, so this
configuration is not advisable on systems where D-Bus will be used.
Thanks to Daniel Onaca.

- From 1.12.18
* CVE-2020-12049: If a message contains more file descriptors than can
be sent, close those that did get through before reporting error.
Previously, a local attacker could cause the system dbus-daemon (or
another system service with its own DBusServer) to run out of file
descriptors, by repeatedly connecting to the server and sending fds that
would get leaked.
Thanks to Kevin Backhouse of GitHub Security Lab.

* Fix a crash when the dbus-daemon is terminated while one or more
monitors are active (dbus#291, dbus!140; Simon McVittie)
* The dbus-send(1) man page now documents --bus and --peer instead of
the old --address synonym for --peer, which has been deprecated since
the introduction of --bus and --peer in 1.7.6
