 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.
