This is a security release for the old-stable branch. Upgrading to
1.8.16 instead is recommended, but if you need to use 1.6.x:

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/dbus-1.6.30.tar.gz
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/dbus-1.6.30.tar.gz.asc
git tag: dbus-1.6.30
git branch: dbus-1.6

Security fix backported from 1.8.16:

• Do not allow non-uid-0 processes to send forged ActivationFailure
  messages. On Linux systems with systemd activation, this would
  allow a local denial of service: unprivileged processes could
  flood the bus with these forged messages, winning the race with
  the actual service activation and causing an error reply
  to be sent back when service auto-activation was requested.
  This does not prevent the real service from being started,
  so the attack only works while the real service is not running.
