CVE-2019-6133 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:6 polkit-docs to version 0:0.96-11.el6_10.1 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:0420.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream polkit-docs package and not the polkit-docs package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
In PolicyKit (aka polkit) 0.115, the "start time" protection mechanism can be bypassed because fork() is not atomic, and therefore authorization decisions are improperly cached. This is related to lack of uid checking in polkitbackend/polkitbackendinteractiveauthority.c.
