Background
A system and service manager.
Description
It was found that systemd incorrectly handled certain Polkit queries.
Impact
A local unprivileged user, by sending a specially crafted Polkit query, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, escalate privileges or cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All systemd users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/systemd-244.3"
| OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
