"From Red Hat Security Advisory 2016:0189 :

Updated polkit packages that fix one security issue are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the
CVE link in the References section.

PolicyKit is a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations.

A denial of service flaw was found in how polkit handled authorization
requests. A local, unprivileged user could send malicious requests to
polkit, which could then cause the polkit daemon to corrupt its memory
and crash. (CVE-2015-3256)

All polkit users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The system must be
rebooted for this update to take effect."
