"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has polkit packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:
- 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)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
