Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2011:086
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : polkit
Date : May 16, 2011
Affected: 2010.1
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in polkit:
A race condition flaw was found in the PolicyKit pkexec utility
and polkitd daemon. A local user could use this flaw to appear as a
privileged user to pkexec, allowing them to execute arbitrary commands
as root by running those commands with pkexec (CVE-2011-1485).
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
