Do not accept an extra fd in the padding of a cmsg message, which could lead to a 4-byte heap buffer overrun (CVE-2014-3635).
Reduce default for maximum Unix file descriptors passed per message from 1024 to 16, preventing a uid with the default maximum number of connections from exhausting the system bus' file descriptors under Linux's default rlimit (CVE-2014-3636).
Disconnect connections that still have a fd pending unmarshalling after a new configurable limit, pending_fd_timeout (defaulting to 150 seconds), removing the possibility of creating an abusive connection that cannot be disconnected by setting up a circular reference to a connection's file descriptor (CVE-2014-3637).
Reduce default for maximum pending replies per connection from 8192 to 128, mitigating an algorithmic complexity denial-of-service attack (CVE-2014-3638).
Reduce default for authentication timeout on the system bus from 30 seconds to 5 seconds, avoiding denial of service by using up all unauthenticated connection slots; and when all unauthenticated connection slots are used up, make new connection attempts block instead of disconnecting them (CVE-2014-3639).
