   An update that contains security fixes can now be installed.

Description:

   This update for dbus-1 to version 1.8.22 fixes one security issue and bugs.

   The following security issue was fixed:

   - bsc#1003898: Do not treat ActivationFailure message received from
     root-owned systemd name as a format string.

   The following upstream changes are included:

   - Change the default configuration for the session bus to only allow
     EXTERNAL authentication (secure kernel-mediated credentials-passing), as
     was already done for the system bus.
   - Fix a memory leak when GetConnectionCredentials() succeeds (fdo#91008)
   - Ensure that dbus-monitor does not reply to messages intended for others
     (fdo#90952)
   - Add locking to DBusCounter's reference count and notify function
     (fdo#89297)
   - Ensure that DBusTransport's reference count is protected by the
     corresponding DBusConnection's lock (fdo#90312)
   - Correctly release DBusServer mutex before early-return if we run out of
     memory while copying authentication mechanisms (fdo#90021)
   - Correctly initialize all fields of DBusTypeReader (fdo#90021)
   - Fix some missing \n in verbose (debug log) messages (fdo#90004)
   - Clean up some memory leaks in test code (fdo#90021)
