+Regression fix backported from 1.8.12:
+
+• Partially revert the CVE-2014-3639 patch by increasing the default
+ authentication timeout on the system bus from 5 seconds back to 30
+ seconds, since this has been reported to cause boot regressions for
+ some users, mostly with parallel boot (systemd) on slower hardware.
+
+ On fast systems where local users are considered particularly hostile,
+ administrators can return to the 5 second timeout (or any other value
+ in milliseconds) by saving this as /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf:
+
+ <busconfig>
+ <limit name="auth_timeout">5000</limit>
+ </busconfig>
+
+ (fd.o #86431, Simon McVittie)
+
+• Add a message in syslog/the Journal when the auth_timeout is exceeded
+ (fd.o #86431, Simon McVittie)
