This update fixes the following security issue:

- CVE-2015-0245: Do not allow non-uid-0 processes to send forged
 ActivationFailure messages. On Linux systems with systemd
 activation, this would allow a local denial of service (bnc#916343).

These additional security hardenings are included:

- Do not allow calls to UpdateActivationEnvironment from uids
 other than the uid of the dbus-daemon. If a system service
 installs unsafe security policy rules that allow arbitrary
 method calls (such as CVE-2014-8148) then this prevents
 memory consumption and possible privilege escalation via
 UpdateActivationEnvironment.
- Do not allow calls to UpdateActivationEnvironment or the
 Stats interface on object paths other than
 /org/freedesktop/DBus. Some system services install unsafe
 security policy rules that allow arbitrary method calls to
 any destination, method and interface with a specified object
 path.");
