Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization in the handle_restore_encrypted_header() method due to the missing polkit authorization check. An attacker can cause the daemon to overwrite LUKS encryption headers, resulting in permanent loss of data integrity and availability, by sending crafted requests to the D-Bus API without proper authorization.
