Detail
| Sebastian Krahmer discovered that Kauth used Policykit insecurely by relying on the process ID. This could result in privilege escalation. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 4:4.8.4-4+deb7u1. For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 4:4.13.3-2. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4:4.13.3-2. We recommend that you upgrade your kde4libs packages. |

| Title: | RHSA-2014:1359: polkit-qt security update (Important) | ||
| Description: | Polkit-qt is a library that lets developers use the PolicyKit API through a Qt-styled API. The polkit-qt library is used by the KDE Authentication Agent (KAuth), which is a part of kdelibs. It was found that polkit-qt handled authorization requests with PolicyKit via a D-Bus API that is vulnerable to a race condition. A local user could use this flaw to bypass intended PolicyKit authorizations. This update modifies polkit-qt to communicate with PolicyKit via a different API that is not vulnerable to the race condition. (CVE-2014-5033) All polkit-qt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. | ||
