Descriptions
In systemd before v242-rc4, it was discovered that pam_systemd does not properly sanitize the environment before using the XDG_SEAT variable. It is possible for an attacker, in some particular configurations, to set a XDG_SEAT environment variable which allows for commands to be checked against polkit policies using the "allow_active" element rather than "allow_any".

Es posible que un atacante, en ciertas configuraciones particulares, establezca una variable de entorno XDG_SEAT que permita comprobar los comandos contra las políticas polkit utilizando el elemento "allow_active" en lugar de "allow_any".
