policykit-1 vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 21.04

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

The system could be made to run programs as an administrator.

Software Description:
- policykit-1: framework for managing administrative policies and privileges

Details:

Kevin Backhouse discovered that polkit incorrectly handled errors in the
polkit_system_bus_name_get_creds_sync function. A local attacker could
possibly use this issue to escalate privileges.
