>+==============================
>+
>+The "I would prefer lengthier studies, and fewer explosions" release.

>+==============================
>+
>+Security:
>+
>+â¢ Sebastian Krahmer discovered and published an authentication bypass
>+  vulnerability in pam_fprintd, caused by a bug in dbus-glib. It is
>+  possible that other users of dbus-glib can be exploited in the same
>+  way. CVE-2013-0292 has been allocated for this vulnerability.
>+
>+  This vulnerability is fixed in dbus-glib version 0.100.1 by git commit
>+  166978a. All users of dbus-glib should upgrade.
