Dist Fedora Esm H88
Essential security patch for python-dbusmock targeting vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized code execution, improving overall system resilience.
Security fix for CVE-2015-1326

Summary

With this program/Python library you can easily create mock objects on

D-Bus. This is useful for writing tests for software which talks to

D-Bus services such as upower, systemd, ConsoleKit, gnome-session or

others, and it is hard (or impossible without root privileges) to set

the state of the real services to what you expect in your tests.
