Subject: [PATCH] bus: Assign a serial number for messages from the driver

Normally, it's enough to rely on a message being given a serial number
by the DBusConnection just before it is actually sent. However, in the
rare case where the policy blocks the driver from sending a message
(due to a deny rule or the outgoing message quota being full), we need
to get a valid serial number sooner, so that we can copy it into the
DBUS_HEADER_FIELD_REPLY_SERIAL field (which is mandatory) in the error
message sent to monitors. Otherwise, the dbus-daemon will crash with
an assertion failure if at least one Monitoring client is attached,
because zero is not a valid serial number to copy.

This fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability: if a privileged user is
monitoring the well-known system bus using a Monitoring client like
dbus-monitor or `busctl monitor`, then an unprivileged user can cause
denial-of-service by triggering this crash. A mitigation for this
vulnerability is to avoid attaching Monitoring clients to the system
bus when they are not needed. If there are no Monitoring clients, then
the vulnerable code is not reached.
