Security update for dbus-1
SUSE Security Update: Security update for dbus-1
This security issue was fixed:
- Increase dbus-daemons RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit to 65536 to stop an attacker
from exhausting the file descriptors of the system bus (CVE-2014-7824).
Note: This already includes the fix for the regression that was introduced
by the first fix for CVE-2014-7824 in 1.8.10.
On fast systems where local users are considered particularly hostile,
administrators can return to the 5 second timeout (or any other value in
milliseconds) by saving this as /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf:
