bsc#1204112, CVE-2022-42011,
bsc#1204113, CVE-2022-42012):
This is a security update for the dbus 1.14.x stable branch, fixing
denial-of-service issues (CVE-2022-42010, -42011, -42012) and applying
security hardening (dbus#416).
Behaviour changes:
* On Linux, dbus-daemon and other uses of DBusServer now create a
path-based Unix socket, unix:path=..., when asked to listen on a
unix:tmpdir=... address. This makes unix:tmpdir=... equivalent to
unix:dir=... on all platforms.
Previous versions would have created an abstract socket, unix:abstract=...,
in this situation.
This change primarily affects the well-known session bus when run via
dbus-launch(1) or dbus-run-session(1). The user bus, enabled by configuring
dbus with --enable-user-session and running it on a systemd system,
already used path-based Unix sockets and is unaffected by this change.
This behaviour change prevents a sandbox escape via the session bus socket
in sandboxing frameworks that can share the network namespace with the host
system, such as Flatpak.
This change might cause a regression in situations where the abstract socket
is intentionally shared between the host system and a chroot or container,
such as some use-cases of schroot(1). That regression can be resolved by
using a bind-mount to share either the D-Bus socket, or the whole /tmp
directory, with the chroot or container.
(dbus#416, Simon McVittie)
* Denial of service fixes:
- Evgeny Vereshchagin discovered several ways in which an authenticated
local attacker could cause a crash (denial of service) in
dbus-daemon --system or a custom DBusServer. In uncommon configurations
