3. Description:

 

Polkit-qt is a library that lets developers use the PolicyKit API through a

Qt-styled API. The polkit-qt library is used by the KDE Authentication

Agent (KAuth), which is a part of kdelibs.

 

It was found that polkit-qt handled authorization requests with PolicyKit

via a D-Bus API that is vulnerable to a race condition. A local user could

use this flaw to bypass intended PolicyKit authorizations. This update

modifies polkit-qt to communicate with PolicyKit via a different API that

is not vulnerable to the race condition. (CVE-2014-5033)

 

All polkit-qt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
