** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #853951
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=853951

** Also affects: iio-sensor-proxy (Debian) via
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=853951
   Importance: Unknown
       Status: Unknown

** Bug watch added: github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/issues #41

** Also affects: iio-sensor-proxy via
   https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/issues/41
   Importance: Unknown
       Status: Unknown

** Description changed:

  The dbus configuration for iio-sensor-proxy allowed any process on the
  system bus to send an org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set() call to any
  other process on the system bus, even if the destination process
  expected to be only accessible by root.
  
  https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/commit/e2d81f2
  
  This was fixed in the upstream version 2.1
  and in Debian's 2.0-4 (which was autosynced to zesty).
  
  I'll prepare debdiff's containing the Debian fix for xenial and yakkety.
