--- Comment #4 from Bob Frazier <bobf@mrp3.com> ---
A new vulnerability in polkit has been discovered on Linux
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-3560
This discusses the details of it and steps to repro:
https://github.blog/2021-06-10-privilege-escalation-polkit-root-on-linux-with-bug/
I have not tried to repro this with older versions of polkit yet (I have
0.114_2 installed on this system, for example) but it is probably worth
investigating before releasing an update of the port.
CVE-2021-3560 was apparently recently discovered and reported yesterday
