polkit: polkitd trusting client-supplied UID allows spoofed authentication dialogs (CVE-2018-1116)| ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:1802004 | Date: (C)2022-03-25 (M)2022-10-10 |
| Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
A flaw was found in polkit before version 0.116. The implementation of the polkit_backend_interactive_authority_check_authorization function in polkitd allows to test for authentication and trigger authentication of unrelated processes owned by other users. This may result in a local DoS and information disclosure.
