| Miloslav Trmač | 2017-02-03 17:00:32 UTC | Doc Text | Cause: The polkit daemon was not correctly freeing memory allocated when evaluating a Polkit.spawn method in JavaScript rules. Consequence: During ordinary operation, polkitd memory usage was growing without bounds, eventually exhausting system resources or causing polkitd to terminate. Fix: The polkit daemon was fixed to free the memory as necessary. Result: | |

| Doc Text | Cause: The polkit daemon was not correctly freeing memory allocated when evaluating a Polkit.spawn method in JavaScript rules. Consequence: During ordinary operation, polkitd memory usage was growing without bounds, eventually exhausting system resources or causing polkitd to terminate. Fix: The polkit daemon was fixed to free the memory as necessary. Result: | Previously, the polkit daemon (polkitd) was not able to correctly free all memory allocated during normal operation. Consequently, the memory allocated to polkitd continued to grow. When the system ran out of memory, the kernel terminated the process unexpectedly. This bug has been fixed and the polkitd now can free the memory as expected. |
