CVE-2019-6133

In PolicyKit aka polkit 0.115, the "start time" protection mechanism can be bypassed because fork is not atomic, and therefore authorization decisions are improperly cached. This is related to lack of uid checking in polkitbackend/polkitbackendinteractiveauthority.c...

This update for polkit fixes the following issues: Security issue fixed: - CVE-2018-19788: Fixed handling of UIDs over MAXUINT bsc1118277...

Command Execution

libpolkit.so is vulnerable to command execution. A lack of validation on the user's UID allows any user with a value greater than INTMAX to successfully execute any systemctl command...

Warning! Unprivileged Linux Users With UID > INT_MAX Can Execute Any Command

Hold tight, this may blow your mind… A low-privileged user account on most Linux operating systems with UID value anything greater than 2147483647 can execute any systemctl command unauthorizedly—thanks to a newly discovered vulnerability. The reported vulnerability actually resides in PolicyKit...
