Details

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 polkitunixprocess_new API function, (2) the dbus API, or (3) the --process (unix-process) option for authorization to pkcheck.
