Title: PolicyKit: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: April 17, 2012
Bugs: #314535, #364973, #401513
ID: 201204-06
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PolicyKit, the worst of
which may allow a local attacker to gain root privileges.
Background
==========
PolicyKit is a toolkit for controlling privileges for system-wide
services.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 sys-auth/polkit < 0.104-r1 >= 0.104-r1
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PolicyKit:
* Error messages in the pkexec utility disclose the existence of local
files (CVE-2010-0750).
* The pkexec utility initially checks the effective user ID of its
parent process for authorization, instead of checking the real user
ID (CVE-2011-1485).
* Members of the "wheel" group are able to execute commands as an
administrator without a password (CVE-2011-4945).
Impact
======
A local attacker could gain elevated privileges or sensitive
information.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All PolicyKit users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/polkit-0.104-r1"
