| 2022-01-28 | CVE-2021-4034 | A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code.... | Ubuntu_linux, Http_server, Zfs_storage_appliance_kit, Polkit, Enterprise_linux, Enterprise_linux_desktop, Enterprise_linux_eus, Enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems, Enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems_eus, Enterprise_linux_for_power_big_endian, Enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian, Enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian_eus, Enterprise_linux_for_scientific_computing, Enterprise_linux_server, Enterprise_linux_server_aus, Enterprise_linux_server_eus, Enterprise_linux_server_tus, Enterprise_linux_server_update_services_for_sap_solutions, Enterprise_linux_workstation, Scalance_lpe9403_firmware, Sinumerik_edge, Command_center, Starwind_hyperconverged_appliance, Starwind_virtual_san, Enterprise_storage, Linux_enterprise_desktop, Linux_enterprise_high_performance_computing, Linux_enterprise_server, Linux_enterprise_workstation_extension, Manager_proxy, Manager_server | 7.8 | ||
| 2022-02-16 | CVE-2021-3560 | It was found that polkit could be tricked into bypassing the credential checks for D-Bus requests, elevating the privileges of the requestor to the root user. This flaw could be used by an unprivileged local attacker to, for example, create a new local administrator. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. | Ubuntu_linux, Debian_linux, Polkit, Openshift_container_platform, Virtualization, Virtualization_host | 7.8 | ||
| 2022-02-21 | CVE-2021-4115 | There is a flaw in polkit which can allow an unprivileged user to cause polkit to crash, due to process file descriptor exhaustion. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to availability. NOTE: Polkit process outage duration is tied to the failing process being reaped and a new one being spawned | Ubuntu_linux, Debian_linux, Fedora, Zfs_storage_appliance_kit, Polkit, Enterprise_linux | 5.5 | ||
| 2013-10-03 | CVE-2013-4288 | Race condition in PolicyKit (aka polkit) allows local users to bypass intended PolicyKit restrictions and gain privileges by starting a setuid or pkexec process before the authorization check is performed, related to (1) the polkit_unix_process_new API function, (2) the dbus API, or (3) the --process (unix-process) option for authorization to pkcheck. | Ubuntu_linux, Opensuse, Polkit, Enterprise_linux | N/A |
