Linux Polkit pkexec helper PTRACE_TRACEME local root exploit

This module exploits an issue in ptracelink in kernel/ptrace.c before Linux kernel 5.1.17. This issue can be exploited from a Linux desktop terminal, but not over an SSH session, as it requires execution from within the context of a user with an active Polkit agent. In the Linux kernel before...

Authorization Bypass

hplip is vulnerable to authorization bypass. The checkpermissionv1 function in base/pkit.py does not properly use D-Bus for communications with a polkit authority. A race condition in the PolkitUnixProcess PolkitSubject allows a local user to bypass access restrictions via a setuid or pkexec...

Authorization Bypass

spice-gtk is vulnerable to authorization bypass. The communication to polkit for authorization via an API call is vulnerable to a race condition in setuid or pkexec process, which allows a local user to bypass access restrictions...

Privilege Escalation

polkit is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A race condition in the PolicyKit pkcheck utility when the process is specified by its process ID via the --process option, allows a local user to bypass intended authorization and escalate their privileges by starting a setuid or pkexec process befor...

CVE-2018-8885

screenresolution-mechanism in screen-resolution-extra 0.17.2 does not properly use the PolicyKit D-Bus API, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a race condition via a setuid or pkexec process that is mishandled in a PolicyKitService.checkpermission call...
