Descriptions

USBView 2.1 before 2.2 allows some local users (e.g., ones logged in via SSH) to execute arbitrary code as root because certain Polkit settings (e.g., allow_any=yes) for pkexec disable the authentication requirement. Code execution can, for example, use the --gtk-module option. This affects Ubuntu, Debian, and Gentoo.

USBView versiones 2.1 anteriores a 2.2, permite a algunos usuarios locales (por ejemplo, los que son conectados por SSH) ejecutar código arbitrario como root porque determinadas configuraciones de Polkit (por ejemplo, allow_any=yes) para pkexec deshabilitan el requisito de autenticación. Una ejecución de código puede, por ejemplo, usar la opción --gtk-module. Esto afecta a Ubuntu, Debian y Gentoo
