Synopsis
========

A race condition in polkit could allow a local attacker to gain
escalated privileges.

Background
==========

polkit is a toolkit for managing policies relating to unprivileged
processes communicating with privileged processes.

=================

Description
===========

polkit has a race condition which potentially allows a process to
change its UID/EUID via suid or pkexec before authentication is
completed.

Impact
======

A local attacker could start a suid or pkexec process through a
polkit-enabled application, which could result in privilege escalation
or bypass of polkit restrictions.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All polkit users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/polkit-0.112"

All HPLIP users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-print/hplip-3.14.1"

All Spice-Gtk users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/spice-gtk-0.21"

All systemd users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/systemd-204-r1"

All libvirt users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
 ">=app-emulation/libvirt-1.1.2-r3"
