dbus-glib 0.100.1 was released on February 15 to fix a security issue: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-glib/commit/?id=166978a09cf5edff4028e670b6074215a4c75eca Updated package uploaded for Cauldron. Patched package uploaded for Mageia 2. Patch checked into Mageia 1 SVN. Advisory: ======================== Updated dbus-glib packages fix security vulnerability: A privilege escalation flaw was found in the way dbus-glib, the D-Bus add-on library to integrate the standard D-Bus library with the GLib thread abstraction and main loop, performed filtering of the message sender (message source subject), when the NameOwnerChanged signal was received. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges (CVE-2013-0292).
