Hi,

please signoff

D-Bus 1.4.12 (2011-06-10)
==

Security (local denial of service):

• Byte-swap foreign-endian messages correctly, preventing a long-standing
   local DoS if foreign-endian messages are relayed through the dbus-daemon
   (backporters: this is git commit 
c3223ba6c401ba81df1305851312a47c485e6cd7)
   (fd.o #38120, Debian #629938, no CVE number yet; Simon McVittie)

D-Bus 1.4.10 (2011-06-01)
==

The "Ape Ale" release.

Notes for distributors:

   This version of D-Bus no longer uses -fPIE by default. Distributions 
wishing
   to harden the dbus-daemon and dbus-launch-helper can re-enable this 
if their
   toolchain supports it reliably, via something like:

     ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIE LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,-z,relro"
