    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)
