+ <p>PolicyKit is a toolkit for controlling privileges for system-wide
+ services.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PolicyKit:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Error messages in the pkexec utility disclose the existence of local
+ files (CVE-2010-0750).
+ </li>
+ <li>The pkexec utility initially checks the effective user ID of its
+ parent process for authorization, instead of checking the real user ID
+ (CVE-2011-1485).
+ </li>
+ <li>Members of the "wheel" group are able to execute commands as an
+ administrator without a password (CVE-2011-4945).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>A local attacker could gain elevated privileges or sensitive
+ information.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All PolicyKit users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-auth/polkit-0.104-r1"
+ </code>
