"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-026 advisory.

  - 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. When successfully
    executed the attack can cause a local privilege escalation given unprivileged users administrative rights
    on the target machine. (CVE-2021-4034)

  - 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
    (CVE-2021-4115)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
