Dear Maintainer,
I experienced system crashes on both my office PC and home laptop last week.
Both systems use dbus-broker 37-2 (from the Debian stable release).
After diving deeper into the issue, I found the following coredumps:
ls -la /var/lib/systemd/coredump/

Unfortunately, I do not have debug symbols installed, so I am not sure if the backtrace will be useful.

As I can see, there is a closed bug with similar symptoms:
#1123876 (dbus-broker: Crashes when trying to mount encrypted USB from Plasma).
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1123876
Could you please consider cherry-picking the fix from version 37-4
into a point release for Trixie stable (via trixie-proposed-updates)
or providing an updated version through trixie-backports?
Thank you!
