Name : polkit Product : Fedora 18 Version : 0.107 Release : 6.fc18 URL : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit Summary : polkit Authorization Framework Description : polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations. It is used for allowing unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This release fixes CVE-2013-4288: Race condition with process subjects that do not have securely determined uid. pkcheck(1) now supports a new format for the --process argument; all applications need to use the new format to avoid a race condition (or use --system-bus-name to identify the process instead). Similarly, applications using the API should always use polkit_unix_process_new_for_owner(). polkit_unix_process_new() and polkit_unix_process_new_full() are unsafe and have been deprecated. Thanks to Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE Security Team for reporting this issue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Sep 18 2013 Miloslav Trmač |
