21 Feb 2022 — There is a flaw in polkit which can allow an unprivileged user to cause polkit to crash, due to process file descriptor exhaustion. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to availability. NOTE: Polkit process outage duration is tied to the failing process being reaped and a new one being spawned Se presenta un fallo en polkit que puede permitir a un usuario no privilegiado causar un bloqueo de polkit, debido al agotamiento del descriptor de archivos del proceso.

25 Jan 2022 — A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code. When successfull... • https://packetstorm.news/files/id/166196 • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write •

03 Jun 2021 — It was found that polkit could be tricked into bypassing the credential checks for D-Bus requests, elevating the privileges of the requestor to the root user. This flaw could be used by an unprivileged local attacker to, for example, create a new local administrator. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. Se ha detectado que polkit podía ser engañado para omitir las comprobaciones de credenciales para las peticiones de D-Bus, eleva... • https://packetstorm.news/files/id/172836 • CWE-754: Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization •
