A vulnerability in Polkit’s pkexec component could allow for local privilege escalation. Polkit (formerly PolicyKit) is a component for controlling system-wide privileges in Unix-like operating systems. It provides an organized way for non-privileged processes to communicate with privileged ones. Polkit is installed by default on all major Linux distributions. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in privilege escalation to root privileges.
