Summary
polkit security update
Details

polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations. It is used for allowing unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.

Security Fix(es):

There is a flaw in polkit which can allow an unprivileged user to cause polkit to crash, due to process file descriptor exhaustion. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to availability. NOTE: Polkit process outage duration is tied to the failing process being reaped and a new one being spawned(CVE-2021-4115)
