Summary
PackageKit security update
Details

PackageKit is a D-Bus abstraction layer that allows the session user to manage packages in a secure way using a cross-distro, cross-architecture API.

Security Fix(es):

PackageKit is a D-Bus abstraction layer that allows the user to manage packages in a secure way using a cross-distro, cross-architecture API. PackageKit between and including versions 1.0.2 and 1.3.4 is vulnerable to a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition on transaction flags that allows unprivileged users to install packages as root and thus leads to a local privilege escalation. This is patched in version 1.3.5.

A local unprivileged user can install arbitrary RPM packages as root, including executing RPM scriptlets, without authentication. The vulnerability is a TOCTOU race condition on transaction->cached_transaction_flags combined with a silent state-machine guard that discards illegal backward transitions while leaving corrupted flags in place. Three bugs exist in src/pk-transaction.c: 1. Unconditional flag overwrite (line 4036): InstallFiles() writes caller-supplied flags to transaction->cached_transaction_flags without checking whether the transaction has already been authorized/started. A second call blindly overwrites the flags even while the transaction is RUNNING. 2. Silent state-transition rejection (lines 873–882): pk_transaction_set_state() silently discards backward state transitions (e.g. RUNNING → WAITING_FOR_AUTH) but the flag overwrite at step 1 already happened. The transaction continues running with corrupted flags. 3. Late flag read at execution time (lines 2273–2277): The scheduler's idle callback reads cachedtransactionflags at dispatch time, not at authorization time. If flags were overwritten between authorization and execution, the backend sees the attacker's flags.(CVE-2026-41651)
