Detail
| A vulnerability has been found and corrected in polkit: A race condition flaw was found in the PolicyKit pkexec utility and polkitd daemon. A local user could use this flaw to appear as a privileged user to pkexec, allowing them to execute arbitrary commands as root by running those commands with pkexec (CVE-2011-1485). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. |
