CVE-2013-1065
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.6)—
backend.py in Jockey before 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.11 does not properly use D-Bus for communication with a polkit authority, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a PolkitUnixProcess PolkitSubject race condition via a (1) setuid process or (2) pkexec process, a related issue to CVE-2013-4288.
